Twins well-positioned for 2008 draft
Posted on January 9th, 2008 – 9:48 AMBy Joe Christensen
We are checking daily for any movement in the Johan Santana trade discussions, and so far this week, we haven’t detected any. The Twins still appear to be a stand-still in their discussions with the Yankees, Red Sox and Mets. No other team appears to be a serious contender, but we’ll keep you posted if we hear otherwise.
Quick note: The Twins are slated to have three of the first 31 picks in this year’s amateur draft. They have the 14th pick, and No. 27 (from the Angels for the Torii Hunter signing) and No. 31 (the first supplemental pick, also courtesy of the Hunter signing). You can see the entire order in this Q&A session with Baseball America writer Jim Callis.
