| 4th December, 2007 - 8:32 am | New York Daily News - Cross Johan Santana off the Yankees' holiday shopping list.
The Yankees' self-imposed deadline came and went Monday night at the Winter Meetings without a deal being reached with the Twins, making it unlikely the Bombers will land the two-time Cy Young winner.
Monday night, a Yankees source told the Daily News that the Santana negotiations were over.
"I just don't think they were ready to do a deal," the source said. "We're moving on."
According to a second source, the Yankees now plan to turn their attention toward Oakland starter Dan Haren, who is currently being shopped. Although the righthander, 27, isn't as proven as Santana, 28, he is more attractive in a financial sense, as he is set to make $4 million in 2008 and $5.5 million in 2009 with a 2010 option for $6.75 million.
Oakland GM Billy Beane is said to be looking for a package of four players in exchange for Haren, with Hughes and Cabrera once again the likely centerpieces if the Yankees are to be serious players. [READ] |
