theres no reason to give up a bunch of players to get santana for one extra year...this has been talked about to death

The reason I believe this is important is if the Yankees don't trade for him, another team may. Santana, I believe, has a NTC and will probably force the team to sign him to an extension. If that happens, then no, the Yankees can't sign him next year.

Exactamundo. Sometimes you've got to pay a premium to get players of Santana's caliber. In this case, the premium would be the value of the players given up in a deal less the extra value Santana adds in 2008.
