Mets trade for Santana

Bob Nightengale of USA Today is reporting that the Twins have agreed to send Johan Santana to the Mets in exchange for four prospects. The Mets will then have 72 hours to negotiate what will probably end up being a seven-year contract extension.

The prospects included in the deal are: Carlos Gomez, Phil Humber, Deolis Guerra and Kevin Mulvey.

Considering the Mets didn't give up Fernando Martinez, this appears to be a great deal if the Mets can hammer out the contract extension in the next three days.

Thank goodness this madness is pretty much over. Spring Training is almost here!
