Nick Cafardo on XM: RED SOX WOULD MAKE DEAL SO BAD TWINS WOULDN'T TAKE IT.

Everyone knows this is common sense except Hank and certain baseball media types. Nick Cafardo just reiterated it on XM with Charley Steiner: IN SHORT,

• FORGET THE HYPE ABOUT OFFERING ELLSBURY. THE RED SOX ARE PLAYING A GAME TO GET HANK TO GIVE UP PHIL HUGHES AND MELKY AND OVERSPEND ON A MERCENARY. IE. THEY'RE NOT TRYING TO GET SANTANA THEMSELVES!
• Cafardo:

"IF THEY OFFER ELLSBURY, THE OTHER PROSPECTS WOULD BE SO BAD THE TWINS WOULDN'T DO IT."

• And this--HANK--YOU'RE BEING PLAYED. Cafardo's words on XM:

"IF THEY BLOCK SANTANA GOING TO THE YANKEES AND DON'T END UP WITH HIM THEMSELVES, THEY'LL PROBABLY DO THE SAME THING WITH HAREN."

• Cafardo also says fans are very big on Ellsbury of course and would be very upset if he were traded. Fans are still mad about Hanley Ramirez.
