You have to question if the Red Sox really want Santana. Obviously he'll improve the team, but the one thing the Red Sox don't need is a starter. Reports are with their current roster; they are considering a six-man rotation (Josh Beckett, Daisuke Matsuzaka, Curt Schilling, Tim Wakefield, Lester, and Buchholz). As much as a Beckett/Santana righty/lefty duo will make any Red Sox's fan mouth water, do they really want him or are they just making things difficult for the Yankees? To heighten the drama, Yankees owner Hank Steinbrenner has set a deadline for today to get the deal done or the Yankees are out. While it sounds like the Yankees are making a stand, didn't they tell Alex Rodriguez the same thing if he opted out of his contract? We all know how that worked out.
