Yanks Out Of Santana Race?

From ESPN.com

For the second time this offseason, the Yankees have pulled their Phil Hughes-centered trade offer for Johan Santana off the table.

The Yankees, then, will not restart trade talks with the Twins unless Hank Steinbrenner has another change of heart, a baseball official with knowledge of the talks told 1050 ESPN Radio's Andrew Marchand.

The Yankees' desire Monday to turn their attention away from the two-time Cy Young winner leaves Boston and the New York Mets as Minnesota's trade partners, the official told Marchand.

Maybe one too many Drabek flashbacks for Hank to take on this one...

I'm sure this Johan stuff will start back up again, Hank can't resist being in the news as much as possible.

I'm beginning to get on board with #15's* theory that Hank is just tiptoeing the tampering line as a negotiating ploy. It's the only rational explanation to how how goes about his business.

If it's not that, then it really is time for someone to gently recommend therapy and sedation.

*#15 is a regular WW.com reader/commenter. Just wanted to give credit where it's due for this theory.
