We are rapidly approaching the 5pm deadline to get the extension done and ESPN is reporting the sides can't agree on guaranteed years: Santana wants 6, Mets are offering 5. Apparently Santana's agents opened the negotiations at 6 years, $28mm per year and the Mets came in with 5 years, $21mm per year with a vesting option for a 6th year.
While I can't believe the scale of this deal, for a guy who will only play every fifth day, I can only say this: GET THIS EPHING DEAL DONE!
Don't screw this one up, sign Kyle Lohse and tell me we look great for 2008. I swallowed that after the loss to the Cardinals going into 2007. While Maine and Perez were better than we ever could have expected, Pedro is one year closer to retirement and Beltran is one more year through his prime. You are in the biggest market. You have your own TV network. You MUST get this deal done.
