Rumor: Mets Are Back In The Johan Santana Sweepstakes
Quote:
Johan Santana to the Mets?
A week ago, the idea seemed unthinkable. But suddenly, it appears quite possible. The Red Sox and Yankees seemingly have succeeded in keeping Santana away from each other while retaining their top young arms.

The Mariners, a team trying to add two starting pitchers, do not hide their interest in Santana, but might back off if they sign Japanese free-agent right-hander Hiroki Kuroda.
For the Mets, the collective stalemate could amount to a perfect storm. That is, if the Twins indeed trade Santana. The Mets did not speak with the Twins about Santana on Wednesday. However, the teams met earlier this week, and the Twins gave the Mets a list of players they had interest in. The Mets did not say no to any of them, sources say. Center fielder Carlos Gomez and right-hander Mike Pelfrey likely would be the centerpieces of any Mets offer for Santana. Other teams say the Mets' top prospects aren't as good as other clubs'. But the Twins, a scout-driven organization, might take a different view.
