Dear Santa,

I know what I'm about to ask you for seems almost impossible, but can you try to make this happen? Red Sox Nation & I have been good this year. I'll even leave you some tickets instead of cookies.

The latest Red Sox rumor on stud Johan Santana according to a report from Charlie Walters of the St. Paul Pioneer Press the Sox are now the frontrunners to land Santana as part of a trade package that does not include either Jacoby Ellsbury or Clay Buchholz. According to Walters, the Red Sox would receive Santana in exchange for Coco Crisp, Jon Lester, and minor league prospects Jed Lowrie and Justin Masterson. He also says “Before a deal could be made, the Red Sox would have to have time to negotiate a contract extension with Santana, 28, who can become a free agent after next season and could have a market value as high as $150 million over six years." ESPN's Buster Olney wrote on Thursday that the Sox and Twins are working on the framework of a deal that would send Santana to Boston for Crisp, Lester, Lowrie, with Sox minor league pitcher Michael Bowden being the fourth pitcher in the deal. But Olney wrote that "the identity of the fourth player is in flux"

This seems waaaaayyyy to good to be true right? That's why I ask you all to put it on your list for Santa.
