If the Sox can land him without including Buchholz or Ellsbury, let the celebration commence. Deveney thinks we have him, the Mets don't think they need a starter, and the Yankees have seemingly decided that Dan Haren is a more effective option.

Just the thought of Boston trotting out a rotation of Beckett, Buchholz, Dice-K, and Santana for the next six years makes me happy in the naughty bits.

If the Sox get this deal done fast, that drives up the market on Haren. If the Sox can play the two off each other, then it will be who can give up the number one starter for less. I think that's why they've made a pass at Ben Sheets, from what I have read.

I think you'll see Haren end up in pinstripes for the same deal they were willing to do for Santana.

im not going to go as far as to say i definitely wouldnt give up ellsbury for santana...if it was necessary i would give up jacoby but i wouldnt be happy about it...until i watch 2 cy young winners back to back every 5 days then i would forget about je haha...but if we could get the lefty without giving ellsbury up then i would be eccstatic...santana against the number 2 starter on any other team in the league?!?! omg...
