The Mets strike a tentative deal to get Twins ace Johan Santana.

Wow. Best pitcher in baseball? Too bad minny does not have the $ to keep him.

This was the best trade Mets have made in yrs
maybe now they will sign El Duques bro so Duque can pitch out of bullpen there real need

Definitely the best in baseball. And while I don't buy into the idea that the AL is scads better than the NL, it is somewhat better, so one would except Santana to put up some pretty gaudy numbers there. Barring a potential dip due to a period of adjustment, of course.

yes the trade mets is fine but i dont think that the AL is better than the NL.anyways everybody has a different point of view.

Yay the Mets are getting decent players lol. I love the Mets. I don't really pay attention to all the games because I'm in Florida now but I grew up only an hour outside queens.

i too like mets.the players are very capable.Santana is great but i dont appreciate the deal the mets have done.

What about the pitcher some team paid $128 million for -- and demoted him to the minors already? Yeah, there's a case of money well spent! :D :D :D
