Well I already responded to this in another thread, but I will say it again in here.
Everything that I have read on ESPN says that Ellsbury is the guy that the Twins want. Personally I do that deal quickly. I don't understand why teams struggle to give up their best offensive players for great pitching. The Sox gave up Hanley Ramirez, arguably the best offensive SS in the game right now, for Beckett and all Beckett did was win 20 games and be unhittable in the playoffs.
I would much rather keep Lester than Ellsbury.
I would gladly get rid of both to acquire Santana though.
