There's word from Nashville that the Twins have started calling other teams and gauging their interest in Twins' ace Johan Santana. Does that mean the Twins have rejected the Red Sox and Yankees' offers? There's no confirmation of that yet, but it seems curious that the Twins are making phone calls to other teams, unless they'll try to find another team to raise the offers from both the Sox and Yanks.

Hank Steinbrenner weighed in on the Yankees' negotations for Twins' Ace Johan Santana. He says he wants to hear from the Twins sometime tomorrow on their offer and that it is "a final offer".

According to Jon Heyman of SI.com, the Yankees have set an, end of day Monday, deadline on the Minnesota Twins to respond to their last offer for Twins' Ace Johan Santana. The deal is reportedly Melky Cabrera, Philip Hughes and another top prospect.

As of last night, it looked like the Yankees have the best offer on the table, but now ESPN's Buster Olney is reporting that the Red Sox have upped their offer, informing the Twins that they will offer Jacoby Ellsbury in their deal for Santana, but will not offer Lester in the same package.
Meanwhile, Olney also reports that the Yankees may pull their deal off the table before the end of the day if no agreement is reached between them and the Twins, meaning it could be the Red Sox that are able to acquire Santana, which would be a HUGE blow to the Yankees.
