Yankees should just wait for Santana's contract to run out. I guess they're really scared that the Red Sox are going for him, but they can't give up such a good package for Santana.

this would make the most sense but the twins will not let this happen - santana is going somewhere for sure, if not this offseason, then at the trade deadline.

Hopefully he goes to Boston and ends up like Mike Hampton.

Basically, Hampton is a guy that hovered around a 1.5 K/BB and was decent because he kept his H/9 low and was excellent at preventing homeruns. He was then moved to Coors, his homerun rate more than tripled and he got hit around a bit. When he got traded to the Braves, he basically was the same player as before the 121 million.
Santana on the other hand has a K/BB of like 4.5 and would be moving to Yankee Stadium or Fenway, neither of which is going to effect him as severely as Coors broke Hampton.
