Joe Christensen of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune takes a closer look at what the Twins could get for Johan Santana from the Mets, Yankees, Dodgers, Angels and Red Sox. Christensen lists a dream trade for the Twins, the reality of why it can’t happen, and then a more realistic offer.
For the Mets, here are his deals…
Dream trade: Twins get SS Jose Reyes and OF Fernando Martinez.
Reality: Reyes and Martinez are untouchable, as is 3B David Wright.
More obtainable: OF Carlos Gomez or OF Lastings Milledge and RHP Kevin Mulvey.
I can’t see just Gomez or Milledge plus Mulvey gets it done, if it does I will drive Gomez and Mulvey to the airport myself.
