Johan Santana is a New York Met, Apparently Loves Wiffleball
Today I do the dance of joy. The New York Mets finally have a real ace, assuming they can work out the little detail of paying Santana over $20 million per season for at least 6 years. According to USA Today:
The deal is pending the Mets and Santana reaching agreement on a six- or seven-year contract extension and that Santana passes a physical; they have been granted a 48 to-72-hour window to do so. Santana has a no-trade clause that he will waive if agreement is reached on a contract extension.
The Mets paid a high price in prospects to land Santana, agreeing to send the Twins outfielder Carlos Gomez and pitchers Phil Humber, Deolis Guerra and Kevin Mulvey.
If you’re a Mets fan, today is a great day. For more details, check out the full article on USA Today’s website and MetsBlog - by far the best resource for Mets news, rumors and analysis on the web.
