Evidently, anything short of perfection isn't good enough for the blessed Yankees.
If the yankee fans didn't like it, that would just have to be too damn bad.
The Yanks would be nuts not to make that trade if they could.
It never could happen, of course.
Minny isn't looking to take on any $25 million contracts - not to mention what they lose in the exchange of talent - and they can definitely get away with paying Liriano and possibly Santana way below market for the next few years.
But as a trade, the Yankees get the best of it by far.
