Yankees Set Monday Deadline

According to SI's Jon Heyman, the Yankees have told the Minnesota Twins that want some resolution to the Johan Santana talks on Monday. To be more precise, the Yankees want to know if Phil Hughes, Melky Cabrera, and a prospect (from the non-hands off list) will get the job done. We're not sure this is the smartest move since the Twins don't have to trade their ace any time soon.

The Red Sox decided to include Jacoby Ellsbury in their package, but took Jon Lester out in the process. This woudn't make the offer better than the Yankees offer, but who knows what Twins GM Terry Ryan is thinking. Source
