| 4th December, 2007 - 8:01 pm | New York Times - According to Hank Steinbrenner, the Yankees’ pursuit of Johan Santana has come to an end.
“The deadline is the deadline,” Steinbrenner said. “I extended it a few hours more, and that was it. So it’s done.”
Steinbrenner seemed relieved that the Yankees won't have to part with Phil Hughes and Melky Cabrera, the two main pieces of the Yankeees' offer to the Twins.
“I’m very pleased. We got Andy Pettitte back, and everything I wanted to accomplish at the beginning of the off-season has happened. We got Pettitte, Rodriguez, Posada and Rivera back. We’ve got our young pitchers. I’m very glad we didn’t have to lose Hughes and Cabrera. Everything is copasetic.”
The Red Sox emerge as the clear favorites to acquire Santana via trade. [READ] |
