He will...it's Omar Minaya.
If your last name is Rodriguez, Santiago, Sanchez, Lopez, etc., he will sign you.

Johan Santana Traded To Mets
UPDATE, 1-29-08 at 3:15pm: Bob Nightengale of USA Today says an agreement to trade Santana to the Mets has been reached. They'll send Carlos Gomez, Philip Humber, Deolis Guerra, and Kevin Mulvey. The Mets still have to work out a six or seven year extension for Santana, according to Nightengale.
UPDATE, 1-29-08 at 2:55pm: More from Olney. His sources say the Mets have the best offer, the Red Sox also made offers, and the Yanks are out. Santana apparently asked the Twins to make a decision, wrap this thing up. Wrap it up! Olney is not sure whether F-Mart is part of the Mets' offer.
UPDATE, 1-29-08 at 2:06pm: SI.com's Jon Heyman weighs in. He sees the Mets as the frontrunner, the Red Sox on the fringes, and the Yankees as nearly out of the running. The Mets are offering Gomez/Humber/Mulvey/Guerra but not Fernando Martinez. If they get Santana, the Mets will commit to only five years but with a high average annual value of $22-25MM.
UPDATE, 1-29-08 at 1:11pm: WFAN's Mike Francesa believes the Twins upped their offer to five years, $100MM for Santana, but he rejected it.

Baseball is 2nd only to the NFL and had all-time attendance //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif
Trade still isn't finalized, but I must say, I like this trade a lot. First, it gets Santana out of the AL Central, and even better, he doesn't end up in Boston or on the Yankees, and finally the NL is still weaker.

Oh well phillies are still going to own you guys
All it took was a collapse of epic proportion for the Phillies to back into the playoffs. Yes, major pwnage. Oh yea, what happened to Rowand again? Moyer vs. Santana? I wonder which lefty I should chose in that matchup?

So? The phillies still had to win while the mets were collapsing go look at the phils record during the mets epic collapse
And how about Hammels vs Santana?
Is that a serious question? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

I know santana is better but at least hammels has a chance
I just like how you pick our 4th starter instead of Hammels to compare him to
Just when the Tigers were starting to get to Santana, Minnesota trades him. Tigers were 3-1 against him last year, but still, much rather see him in the NL. I am very excited about this trade, and hope he does sign with New York.
I don't know Philadelphia's rotation that well, but give me a break. Philly barely eeked out the division, got worse in the off season while New York clearly got better, and you still think Philly would pwn New York. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif
