Who needs sources when you have common sense? As we await for the contract extension to be signed over the next 72 hours, it was obvious to us that there was no way the Twins were going to deal Johan to the Yankees or the Red Sox. Our dark horse was the Dodgers who were eerily quiet despite possessing the prospects and money, not to mention Joe Torre, to trump any Met offer.

But, today is not about gloating. It’s about celebrating an apparent steal of a deal.  We look forward to seeing Johan in Port St. Lucie, and bringing you reports from Spring Training.
