News has been coming across the wire all afternoon stating that the Mets have agreed with the Twins on a trade to acquire Johan Santana. The Mets will part with four prospects, including Carlos Gomez and Phil Humber. They now have 48 hours to negotiate a deal. I can hear all of my Yankee and Red Sox fan friends saying in unison, "That's it!? That's all it took!?"
I say give hime 7yrs, $150mm if he wants it. The Mets called the Twins bluff going back to the Winter Meetings when everyone around baseball said they didn't have the talent to get the deal done. Not with the Sox and Yankees bidding their most prized assets. But oh, the Twins got a little greedy and since that time, Lester, Ellsbury, Buchholz, Kennedy, Hughes came off the table. And who was waiting to swoop in with some top tier-ish talent and a Citigroup funded checkbook? The Mets baby.
Let's hope Pedro stays healthy.
