I have a feeling the Yanks would have put that offer back on the table if the Twins were willing to take it. They just wanted Santana out of the league.

well i think in a postion to get one of the best if not the best, rest assured they would have gone over that soft cap.
there are exceptions to the rule and when a pitcher like this is in front of you i think they would even go above there self imposed cap
i don't think it was santana out of the league, thats the least of the twins worries. you worry about that if your a contender. they have enuff problems just trying to be even remotly competitive in thier own division,let alone worry about what he can do to them
i think the soxand yanks had enuff time to think about it and realised the talent they had was good enuff and not really where that intrested upon reflection of it.
and i also believe that they both had a feel that neither one after giving it some thought were going to go for it and were both satisfied of niether having him.
i think the yanks said screw it and the sox said if the yanks look like they are going to stay out of it so will we.
