Keeping Up With the Rumors

The Twins have been connected to an insane number of trade rumors lately. Let's take a glance:

Supposedly, the Twins and Yankees are in preliminary talks regarding Johan Santana. Meanwhile, the Boston Globe reports that talks between the Twins and Red Sox with regards to center fielder Coco Crisp are intensifying. And then, according to the Devil Rays blog DRaysBay, Boof Bonser has been down in Florida telling people that he is on the verge of being dealt to Tampa Bay. There's even a rumor floating around that the Twins are talking to the Angels about trading Justin Morneau for Casey Kotchman and Ervin Santana (huh??).

Bill Smith must be an awfully busy man to be chatting it up with all these general managers about potential trades. In truth, it's likely that many of these rumors are overblown (or completely fabricated), but such is the nature of MLB's Hot Stove season.

Strap in folks, it's going to be a long winter.

One more thing: Naturally, Bob Sansevere of the Pioneer Press has his own ideas. I'd comment, but Ken Tremendous over at FireJoeMorgan has already taken care of it.

The Morneau "rumor" was so ridiculous that it doesn't exist anymore.

Great Santana and Garza pieces over at www.mlbfleecefactor.com.

Apparently a Garza-for-Young deal. LOVE that for the Twins, personally!
