Feb. 7 can’t come fast enough now. That’s assuming the Mets sign Johan Santana (pictured from MLB.com site) to a contract extension and the trade being reported today becomes reality.
The deal — Santana for prospects Carlos Gomez, Philip Humber, Deolis Guerra and Kevin Mulvey — makes sense for both sides. The Mets need a big man to top the rotation, a monster pitcher to match up with Cole Hamel and Tim Hudson, as well as with Jake Peavey, Brandon Webb and Brad Penney. The Twins, who were not going to win this year, need to retool.
So, as a Mets fan, lets hope they can work out a deal and Johan Santana and his two Cy Young awards can make his way to Shea.
