Though we never really know, my take was that Hank wanted to do the deal yet was talked out of it by Cashman. If Santana blows up I'm sure hank will take the bows and say what a smart guys he is for not doing the deal. However if Santana goes 20-7, the Mets go to the WS and the Yankees miss the playoffs or get eliminated early I can see Hank blaming Cashman for not getting him. I dont think Cashman is calling the shots but they do listen to him. For now.
