The Minnesota Twins have reportedly traded ace Johan Santana to the New York Mets for OF Carlos Gomez and RHPs Phil Humber, Deolis Guerra and Kevin Mulvey. The trade hinges on the Mets ability to lock Santana into a long term deal, somewhere in the 6 year, $150 million range.
One has to wonder what might have been for the Twins. At one point they had the Yankees offering up Melky Cabrera and one of the magnificent three, Ian Kennedy or Phil Hughes and Boston willing to give up either Buckholz or Jacoby Ellsbury instead they've got Carlos Gomez who played only 58 games in 2007, Phil Humber who made a horrible start down the stretch for the Metsies last season and Mulvey and Guerra who along with never making a Major League star are not projected to have the impact of a Hughes, Kennedy or Bucholz. But at least the Twins have Liriano coming back, right?
