Peter Gammons comments on the Johan Santana deal in his blog for ESPN…
The Mets had the money, they were in the right place and Minaya never gave up. In the wars of the ballpark openings, regional television networks and My Back Pages, the Mets have struck a mighty blow. And in the National League East, where the Phillies and Braves are very good and very aggressive, the Mets now have what no one else has. The best pitcher on the planet.
The impact of this deal cannot be overstated.
