| 8th December, 2007 - 11:10 am | New York Daily News - Hank Steinbrenner acknowledges that he hasn't slammed the door on a potential blockbuster deal for Johan Santana. Several possible trade chips the Twins might want are "as close to untouchable as you get," the Yankees' Senior Vice President said Friday.
Joba Chamberlain already had been declared off-limits by the Yankees, and Steinbrenner Friday named Phil Hughes, Ian Kennedy, Melky Cabrera and Robinson Cano as "the very best of our young players."
"We're all still very much pleased with what we've got," Steinbrenner added in a telephone interview. "As far as the door (to a Santana deal) being open, who knows? At this point, Chamberlain, Hughes, Kennedy, Cabrera and Cano, they're as close to untouchable as you get."
"The only reason I made a point of a deadline on Santana was that I didn't want to get caught up in the circus of the Winter Meetings. The purpose of that deadline was trying to get something done before the Winter Meetings."
Steinbrenner said that GM Brian Cashman was "working on a lot of different things," but added that no trade or other acquisition was imminent yesterday. [READ] |
