On his blog for The Star Tibune, Twins beat reporter La Velle A. Neal III now feels the Mets could be a viable option in the Santana sweepstakes. Way to go La Velle, but I feel like I’ve seen your sentiments somewhere before:
“This is pure speculation, but you have to wonder if the Twins would prefer to deal Santana to a National League team. Santana, a career .258 hitter, would get the chance to swing the bat. And, except for interleague play, the Twins wouldn’t have to face him during the regular season.”
“Why would the Twins be willing to ensure American League dominance by moving their prize lefty to either the Red Sox or Yankees?…..This brings us to the Mets, the place where Johan seems to fit perfectly. Santana has leverage here, and is an accomplished athlete, who would love to come to the ballpark and swing the lumber. Of course, logic would not dictate Santana’s demand to come to the National League lies on the fact that he wants to hit. No, but what makes the Mets a realistic option is GM Omar Minaya’s aggressiveness to make a deal, and the young prospects to make it happen.”
I’m not looking for any credit here, I’m just damn happy that someone is starting to see this thing for what it is. The Mets have a real shot here people, just be patient.

[...] Granted this news gets us absolutely nowhere, but at least Heyman knows Omar’s number, which leads us to think something may be brewing here and the Mets may be the only real option for Smith and the Twins. But then again, by using our own common sense, we’ve known that all along. [...]
