The Yankees are in preliminary talks with the Twins to acquire Johan Santana. This is a move that they have to make. The Yankees do not have an ace. Chien Min Wang is not ace and Joba Chamberlain and Phil Hughes are too young to be counted on as sure things. In order to get Santana the Yankees will most likely have to put together a package that starts with either Joba Chamberlain, Phil Hughes, or Ian Kennedy. They will also likely have to include Melky Cabrera and another prospect. I would be willing to give up any of the young players except for Joba Chamberlain. Besides the fact that they need an ace the Yankees also have to prevent Santana from going to the Red Sox. If the Red Sox are able to start Josh Beckett and Johan Santana back to back they will be almost unbeatable in a short series.
