Over at Metsblog.com, Matthew Cerrone cites Jon Heyman of SI.com, saying the Mets balked at the price of 4 pitching prospects plus Carlos Gomez or Fernando Martinez for Johan Santana.

Im assuming the pitching prospects would be Humber, Mulvey, Niese, Pelfrey, and Guerra. The only one i would hesitate to deal is Guerra, just because he has so much upside as a 19 year old kid. If im Omar, I pull the trigger on Gomez plus the above 4, Keeping Martinez and Guerra Around.
