I don't even know what to do anymore. If my employer knew how often I have been checking a diverse mix of mlbtraderumors.com, ESPN Blog, SI.com and Google News Search for "Santana Trade", I'd probably have been asked to leave by lunch.
I want as much as the next Minnesota fan, for the Twins to come away with, Lester, Ellsbury, Hughes, Melky, Wright, and Reyes for Santana in some kind of 3 team, 7 player deal. But it's probably not going to happen.
Let's just trade him straight up for a low level pitching prospect and some cash. We can turn anyone into a 2 (shoulda been 3) time Cy Young winner no problem. Liriano can help, he's pretty good.
I am just sick of waiting and I want to imagine some new players in the Blue, Red and White.
I'm joking... Keep holding out, let's get everything we can out of these rich bastards.

Yeah I hate this shit...I cant stay away from mlbtraderumors or the espn live blog from nashville for more then a half hour its sickening. I just want some new faces to look forward to seeing this year.
I know exactly what you mean. I have been checking ESPN.com, SI.com, MLB.com and startribune.com like I have O.C.D over the past few days for any kind of update.
Now that we have all been primed and ready to start a new era in Twins baseball they cant let us down.
oh they'll let us down, they do every spring.
i wish it were spring training.
I'm sure you all saw this but...
Santana/Reyes/Haren Blockbuster In The Works?
Just got an incredible rumor from a trusted New York sportswriter. Stay with me, because this one's crazy. But rest assured that if the source wasn't good, I wouldn't post it.
Minnesota has initiated talks for a three-way blockbuster with the Twins and A's. Here's how it would go down:
Mets send Jose Reyes, Kevin Mulvey to A's
Mets send Hector Pellot to Twins
A's send Bobby Crosby and Dan Johnson to Mets
A's send Dan Haren to Twins
Twins send Johan Santana to Mets
Mets get Johan Santana, Bobby Crosby and Dan Johnson
A's get Jose Reyes and Kevin Mulvey
Twins get Dan Haren and Hector Pellot
The source says Haren is exactly the type of player the Twins want for Santana, a cheap frontline starter. It's known the Mets would hate to deal Reyes but they would get some value beyond Santana. Billy Beane is happy because he gets Reyes for one more year than he had Haren plus longtime favorite Mulvey. And, he's out of Crosby's contract.
Thoughts?
I think that trade sucks, I don't really see the benefit for the Twins here. maybe im just dumb.
no its a horrible trade for the Twins. Horrible. The Twins need the prospects. They need 3 or 4 guys that could mold into future cornerstones for us. One pitcher is not going to do. I hate this trade.
