According to Peter Gammons over at ESPN Insider, the Minnesota Twins want a three-player deal from the Yankees for Johan Santana. The Twins are asking for SP Phil Hughes, CF Melky Cabrera and CF Austin Jackson.

Over the weekend, it was reported that Johan Santana is likely seeking a six-year, $150 million deal.

Cabrera, 23, played centerfield in 131 games for the Yankees last season, hitting .273 with 8 home runs and 73 runs batted in. Cabrera managed to steal 13 bases and score 66 runs during the course of the 2007 season.

Hughes, 21, widely considered the best pitching prospect in baseball, went 5-3 with a 4.46 ERA last season in 13 starts. In just his second career start, Hughes took a no-hitter into the 7th inning, before tearing his hamstring with just 84 pitches thrown. In the playoffs against the Indians, Hughes relieved SP Roger Clemens after just 2.1 innings of work. He took over in the 3rd inning and recorded the next 11 outs while only giving up 2 hits and got the win for the team.

Jackson, 20, considered a top 10 prospect within the Yankees organization. He was named the No. 2 prospect in the Hawaii Winter Baseball League. An NL Scout on Baseball America had to say about Jackson. “Once he gets underway he’s a plus-plus runner. He’s the best athlete in this league. He doesn’t have that first-step explosion, but this guy is a real crowd pleaser on the bases.”
