Hot stove!

I've spent the day glued to the computer. It sounds like maybe - fingers crossed - we might have made a blockbuster trade today. Johan Santana - 4 time Cy Young winner - to the Sox, in exchange for five from the following list: Jon Lester, Jacoby Ellsbury, Coco Crisp, Jed Lowrie, Justin Masterson, Ryan Kalish. Supposedly, Ellsbury and Lester will not be dealt together - its one of the two, plus part of the list.

If we have a starting rotation of Santana, Beckett, Matsuzaka, Schilling....someone else put it better:

"If the Red Sox get Santana," said an executive of one NL team that's grateful to be in the other league, "they might be the best team in the history of the frigging universe."

Fingers crossed....
