Well Miguel Cabrera and Dontrelle Willis were involved in trade talks all last season, just not packaged together or with Detroit at all. You are right about the Santana deal having more hype. In terms of the impact that each trade has had on the respective teams, it doesn't vary that much. Detroit and New York have stacked their team for the upcoming season, and Minnesota and Florida are rebuilding for future seasons.
