Johan Santana was traded to the New York Mets for some prospects Tuesday which ended much speculation that he would be a Yankee or a Red Sox. The Mets were the big winner in this trade as they gave up some talent, but this should really help them get over the hump and go deep into the playoffs.
Now I really do question the Minnesota Twins though and what they are thinking. They lost Tori Hunter and now Johan Santana. It seems they really don't care about building a team anymore. They keep players a few years and when they get better they trade them away. IN one way it does save them money, but doesn't make your fan base very happy that's for sure.
Now they have to replace a starting pitcher and a centerfielder. Rumor is in centerfield they could be looking at Kenny Lofton. I wonder if they sign Kenny Lofton how many teams this would make him. maybe he's trying to get on each team once during his career. No matter what the Twins fans can't be to happy with this trade or losing Hunter.
