Typical, the MLB Winter Meetings are at Opryland outside Nashville and I’m stuck in PA. I was holding out hope they’d be down in Orlando again so I could sidle over and try to catch a clear head shot at Scott Boras while I’m visiting. But no, they have to be in middle Tennessee.
Sometimes I really miss Nashville.
The big news is the Yankees/Red Sox seesaw over Santana. I say the odds on is that Santana stays with the Twins. I can’t see them accepting Lester and Crisp and some prospects. Nor can I see them taking Ellsbury and prospects and ending up out a proven pitcher. Interesting stuff.
On the bright side, there’s this comment:
“If the Red Sox get Santana,” said an executive of one NL team that’s grateful to be in the other league, “they might be the best team in the history of the frigging universe.”
