Don't be surprised if the Mets, and not the Yankees, end up with Johan Santana for $20 million a year after the Twins' Cy Young Award winner becomes a free agent after the 2008 season. -- St. Paul Pioneer Press
That had better not be the case. I know the Mets need pitching but so do we
That's based upon nothing. Bobby Abreu and Johan Santana have the same agent (Peter Greenberg), and I think that it couldn't hurt.
I mean, the Phillies, the Royals, the Cubs, the Dodgers, every team in MLB could get Santana. Their comments don't mean anything without some sort of evidence or rationale.
This is the full "article" in all of its...umm...glory. Again, it's like saying that "some team will sign Santana in 2008." Duh.
Anyways, trust me, I12...I'm pretty sure that the reasons the Yankees didn't go gaga over Matsuzaka (although I'm sure they thought that their bid would have been enough) was that they're keeping a nice little nest egg to make Santana the highest paid pitcher, if not player, in major league baseball once he's an FA.
