Twins Will Hold Out for Both Outfielders
At Rotoworld.com, they write about how the Twins are in no rush to give up Johan, and are waiting for the right deal:
ESPN’s Jayson Stark says the Twins are telling teams that they’re willing to hold on to Johan Santana into spring training as they attempt to get the package of players they want.
No one really has any new info on the Santana talks, but that’s not going to stop them from posting stories. Stark mentions the Mariners as still being in contact with the Twins, but he doesn’t think they’re a serious suitor because of Santana’s desire to play on the East Coast. Similar to what others have reported, he believes the Mets offered Carlos Gomez, two of their top young pitchers and a fourth prospect for Santana. However, the Twins are holding out for getting both Gomez and Fernando Martinez in the same package.
I personally doubt that the Omar will give up the two players he has protected so much all these years, but then again, I said the same with Milledge, and look what happened to him, and the mediocre players we got. I personally would not be too happy if we gave up both of our outfielding prospects for Johan, but if it happens, I will live with it, because Johan is the best pitcher in baseball.
I hope that Omar does his best to give up 1 outfielder, even if it means giving up all the pitchers, cause I see a much brighter future with Gomez and Martinez than I do with Humber, Pelfrey, and Mulvey.
