Forget about Huston Street.

The comments section of Fire Brand has been abuzz with trying to get Huston Street.
Forget about it.

Oakland has been linked to Boston outfielder Coco Crisp in past trade rumors, and the Red Sox have shopped Crisp this offseason, but recent rumblings of a Huston Street-for-Crisp deal are “fiction,” one A’s official said.

Darn!
In other news, the Mets seem to be leading the race for Johan Santana. Yesterday, the Minnesota Star-Tribune said the Twins would do the deal if hot prospect Fernando Martinez was included in a deal along with Carlos Gomez, Deolis Guerra, Philip Humber and Kevin Mulvey. Not happening, says the Post.
I’ve said all along Santana will end up with the Mets and I’m not changing my mind.
Oh, and if you haven’t been in the Fire Brand comments recently, the Red Sox are going to sign Doug Mirabelli.
