John Harper reports that the Twins aren't happy with the package of Phil, Melky and a mid-level prospect and that they are willing to go on with Johan on their roster in 2008. He says they want either Alan Horne or Austin Jackson in the deal, as well.

He mentions that the Twins GM persistently asked about adding Ian Kennedy with Hughes and the Yankees refused to do that (thank you!) and said they'd walk away if that was a requirement. The Twins dropped the Kennedy request last night, but still want another top prospect.

TYler Kepner reports that the Yankees have told the Twins that in a deal with Phil and Melky, Dellin Betances, Horne, Jackson, Kennedy and Jose Tabata are untouchable.
