Red Sox include Ellsbury in offer for Santana

The Red Sox have decided to include Jacoby Ellsbury in their offer to the Twins for Johan Santana.

Interestingly, the Red Sox removed Jon Lester from their offer when they added Ellsbury. If the proposal is accepted and Santana joins the club, Boston would have 7 quality starters slotted in their rotation, providing Theo with plenty of ammo to make another big acquisition.

The current proposal probably looks something like this: Ellsbury/Masterson/Lowrie

If Ellsbury goes to Minnesota, Crisp would likely remain in Boston next season.

The Yankees have reportedly given the Twins until the end of the day tomorrow to make a decision.
