Eric Gagne has declined the Red Sox arbitration offer. He is rumored to be in discussions with the Brewers, which is not the Red Sox. If the Brewers don't sign him, he is rumored to be likely to sign with one of 28 teams, none of which is the Red Sox.
In other words, the Red Sox have gained more than in any possible deal for Johan Santana.
(Also noteworthy is the way MLB.com lends credibility to the Gagne-to-Brewers rumors: by citing "multiple Internet reports." Perhaps those reports are credible, but on its face, that's about as high a standard as "according to a thought that occurred to me while I was talking a shit.")
