In an ESPN chat yesterday, Jim Callis of Baseball America could not see the Mets putting together any package to get Johan Santana back in return.

guinness0224: what kind of package could the Mets give the Twins for Santana that the Twins (and the Mets) would actually accept?

Jim Callis: I can’t see the Mets putting such a package together. You could start with Lastings Milledge but I don’t see much else that would entice the Twins.

Jason (NYC): Jayson Stark mentioned the Mets as the team to watch for Johan, Does Pelfrey plus any two of Milledge, F. Martinez or Gomez get it done? What if they sweeten the offer with either Humber or Mulvey?

Jim Callis: Not for me. Those guys don’t blow me away. Pelfrey and Humber aren’t what they were out of college. The Mets don’t have any pitching to give back.

He does however believe a package of Lastings Milledge, Aaron Heilman and Kevin Mulvey would be enough to get Dan Haren.

Here are some other interesting answers from Callis

1) Reds minor leaguer Jay Bruce will hit 50 home runs one year.

2) Dodgers pitching prospect Clayton Kershaw is the minor league pitcher most likely to win a Cy Young one year.

3) He chooses David Wright and Jose Reyes over Miguel Cabrera and Jimmy Rollins, long term.

4) A Cubbie package of Rich Hill, Matt Murton, Felix Pie and Donald Veal would be enough to get Haren as well.

The Mets might not have the best package to put together for Santana, but the teams like the Yankees who do have the pitchers to give up to get Santana in return do not seem to want to part with those players.

It may simply come down to who is willing to pay the price.
