Johan a Met?

Pending physical and contract negotiations will send Santa to Big Apple.

After spending eight years on the Minnesota Twins, Johan Santana will most likely become a New York Met by the end of the week. Santana has a career record of 93-44 with a 3.22 era, and 1381 career strikeouts. He has been awarded Cy Young twice and named All Star three times.

The left-handed hurler is looking for a six-year, $150 million contract with the Mets; only problem is that the "Amazings" want to give a contract for five years. Included in this trade will be four of the Mets top prospects who will be sent to Minnesota once Santana completes the physical.

My Opinion: I think that the Yankees missed their chance with a great pitcher. Having, both, Pettite and Clemens, named the Mitchell Report, Steinbrenner should have made his move since his bullpen will be a little shaky this year. The Yankees, who have been lacking in pitching since their last World Series win in 2000, Santana could have been the answer to all their problems!
