The only similarity is the two teams conducting the deal. Santos was not dealt after finishing out the previous season on and off the DL. Sirotka(and pretty much the entire 2000 Sox staff) ended that season on fumes with all of them taking turns on the DL.
And let's not forget, Wells wasn't exactly a steal, both teams received damaged goods, and neither team got a return from either pitcher.
If Santos ends up hurt this season, I would attribute it to bad luck, not the Sox passing off an injured pitcher.
I hope Santos comes back strong.
