Johan Santana told the Twins he will not waive his no trade clause during the season. If the Twins want to trade him they have to do it soon. If they don’t trade him now they risk having him leave as a free agent at the end of the season. This puts more pressure on Bill Smith to accept one of the offers on the table and makes the price a little cheaper for the Red Sox or Yankees. I would be he will be a member of an East Coast team by Friday. Maybe Santa will bring Boston an early Christmas present.
UPDATE: Hank Steinbrenner’s 2 Cents: “I’m not going to be played against the Red Sox. That’s not something I’ll do. That’s not something the Yankees should ever do, and that’s I think what they’re trying to do now,” “So if they want the best offer that has been offered to them, then they need to make up their minds.” -What a tool. Bill Simmons is right, he is Spalding Smails.
