I don't think the Ellsbury situation makes sense for either team. I'd be more inclined to think there may be something to the White Sox rumors. Maybe there is interest in Abreu and/or Shields on our side. An Abreu trade would certainly HAVE to initiate a set of other trades (unless Thames would be part of the package going back to CHW). I'm just not sure who the Sox would be of interest to them. They don't necessarily need Santana with the prospects they have already waiting for their opportunity. I know there was some talk earlier on the thread about whether Abreu is better than a Thames/Aguilar combo and I think that's almost a certainty. Put Abreu in the middle of our lineup and that is a pretty big improvement IMO. That would then fall in line with the theory that additional moves would then be made (i.e. trade for 2B, sign Cain, trade/sign SP). Cubs are going to end up with Darvish. Seems like a certainty now.

I personally think that the lack of movement from a lot of teams is enticing to Stearns that maybe our window does include 2018. I also think Stearns is sold on trading Santana. He's not the typically Stearn's-guy. He plays poor defense, isn't necessarily fast, and has the build of a player that is going to decline as he ages. Sure he's still young but Stearns has Brinson and Phillips waiting in the wings and both are SUBSTANTIALLY better defenders. If HH is right about a 'significant' trade I just have a feeling it involves Santana over Shaw. Shaw fits the mold of a guy Stearns wants to keep around much more than Santana or Moustakas for that matter unless we are getting an unbelievable return and I just don't see how that's possible considering other third baseman are available both via trade and FA. Santana for Kipnis and Salazar just seems more and more realistic by each passing second.
