any package that includes hughes would destroy any package that includes any red sox prospects not named ellsbury or buccholz. Pray that the twins don't see it the same way. Hughes and Cabrera together would just be a sick fleecing.

fleecing in what context - by objective trade value, yes, of course. the twins will receive nothing but a draft pick for santana this time next year

but presumably if the twins are set to deal him, this is the rare chance to get a franchise-level pitcher like this, and part of the gain of acquiring him is the loss of the red sox who might've also done so.
