Buster Olney on ESPN cites a report that Santana turned down a five-year, $93 million offer from the Twins, and writes that Twins GM Bill Smith is quietly gauging the market for left-hander Johan Santana.

Olney beleives the Mets will be among the most aggressive teams in any Santana bidding.

Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe, writes that the Red Sox could be players for Santana but won’t be willing to give up both Jon Lester and Clay Buchholz and certainly not Jacoby Ellsbury.

The Yankees don’t appear willing to give up Joba Chamberlain, Ian Kennedy, or Phillip Hughes either.

Omar Minaya has stated that ‘nobody is untouchable’ and that he is willing to trade his top prospects in return for a front line starting pitcher.

The Dodgers and Angels could be players but that is predicated on if they acquire Miguel Cabrera or Miguel Tejada.

Cafardo believes the Twins would want one young pitcher but their needs are at CF, 2B and 3B.

Would Pelfrey, Humber or Mulvey along with Milledge or Gomez and Ruben Gotay do the trick?
