Prediction: Santana is the opening day starter for the Minnesota Twins.
Reason: None of the published offers for Santana, from the Mets, Yankees or Red Sox include any kind of established pitcher. The Twins need an established starting pitcher to help their young staff develop. None of the Twins' starters have even two full years of experience - except for Santana.
If they trade Santana, they would need to find a good established starting pitcher via trade or free agency. Many of the best ones are already taken. That provides a problem.
If they trade Santana without getting an established starter - a leader in the clubhouse and on the bench - those young starters will be in trouble.
