Mets Waiting On Twins
Quote:
A MLB executive with knowledge of the Johan Santana trade talks tells 1050 ESPN New York's Andrew Marchand that the Mets feel the ball is in the Twins' court and the Mets have felt, all along, if the Twins were to trade Santana it would likely be before spring training.
The Mets are believed to have proposed a package of Carlos Gomez, Deolis Guerra, Kevin Mulvey and Phil Humber. The Twins would also like the Mets' No. 1 prospect, Fernando Martinez, but Mets GM Omar Minaya hasn't been willing to include Martinez in a trade. Ryan Church could also be in the mix.
According to a report in the St. Paul Pioneer Press, a deal could be done within 10 days, and the Mets have emerged as the front-runner mostly based on their open willingness to deal top prospects to the Twins, but the Yankees and Red Sox still lurk in the shadows.
On Friday, Yankees general manager Brian Cashman told a gathering of fans at William Paterson University in New Jersey that he'd like to pass on Santana.
The Red Sox remain a dark horse, with a package that would include pitcher Jon Lester and either Coco Crisp or Jacoby Ellsbury.
