It looks that way. And if it is...we're screwed.

1st Tyler Clippard gets traded now this?
Would the Yankees go after Eric Bedard then? Though he's no Santana, he had better numbers than Santana last year. And it wouldn't take as much to for an extension.
Bedard should be plan B.
I like that idea, though I wonder if we could get him without giving up one of our main guys. And if not, should we look at 2008 as a rebuilding year and see what they can do?
Clippard got traded? For whom?

Tigers get Cabrera and Willis, now the #2 team in baseball
Red Sox are working on a deal to acquire two-time Cy Young Award winner Johan Santana from Minnesota for a package that could include left-hander Jon Lester or outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury.
New York had offered pitcher Phil Hughes and center fielder Melky Cabrera. The Twins wanted pitcher Ian Kennedy to be included, but even after dropping that demand the sides couldn't agree on a third player.

According to New York Daily News baseball columnist Bill Madden, the New York Yankees actually showed fiscal restraint in their efforts to get Johan Santana.
The final decision not to go through with a deal that was on the table was based on money. Once Andy Pettitte announced he was returning to the fold for $16 million, it meant the Yankees had committed $408.4 million this winter to retain six players. The acquisition of Santana would have meant tacking on another $125 million to that figure.
Madden wrote: "The timing of Pettitte's decision to return — while initially seen as giving the Yankees additional leverage in their dealings with the Twins on Santana — actually gave GM Brian Cashman the "out" he needed.
