Yankees still eye Santana
BY KAT O'BRIEN |[email protected]
January 9, 2008
Roger Clemens is dominating headlines these days, not Johan Santana.
Yet nearly two months after the Yankees first engaged in trade talks
with the Twins over Santana, the Minnesota ace is not off the Yankees'
radar.
"There's definitely still a possibility," Yankees senior vice president
Hank Steinbrenner said by phone yesterday afternoon.
But, Steinbrenner cautioned, there is "nothing new" with regards to
Santana.
Steinbrenner acknowledged that there are several concerns that give the
Yankees pause about trading for Santana: The high level of players the
Yankees would have to give up in a trade, the large and lengthy contract
Santana would command (and the effect on the Yankees' payroll), and the
fact that not everyone in the organization is thinking the same way.
It is believed that general partner Hal Steinbrenner (Hank's younger
brother) and general manager Brian Cashman have reservations.
"The bottom line is, it's my decision," Hank Steinbrenner said, "but
there's disagreement within the organization. I've got to keep everybody
happy in the organization, including Brian ... That includes my partner,
which is my brother."
The Yankees proposed a trade in early December that would have sent
righthander Phil Hughes and centerfielder Melky Cabrera, along with one
or two midlevel prospects, to Minnesota.
Santana, 28, is a two-time Cy Young Award winner due to be a free agent
after this season. Given his youth, health, accomplishments and the fact
that he is a lefthander, many believe he will ink the most lucrative
contract ever by a pitcher.
"The payroll would just be out of this world this year," Steinbrenner
said of potentially adding Santana, "but only for this year. When you've
got to trade top young talent and pay a lot of money, it gets very risky."
If the Yankees do complete a trade for Santana, Steinbrenner said they
would not go beyond a five-year contract extension (one that expires
after the 2013 season).
"I wouldn't do it if it were a six- or seven-year contract," Steinbrenner
said. "I wouldn't go past five, on an extension."
Notes & quotes: Steinbrenner said the Yankees remain committed to having
Joba Chamberlain in the starting rotation, and are not looking at him as
a possible eighth-inning answer.
