In light of the recent KG you would think it couldn't get worse for the state of Minnesota. That's not true. Johan Santana wants out of Minnestoda. Santana was mad at management for not making any moves at the deadline. He said he wanted to go somewhere committed to winning he said that is not happening in Minnesota. Santana is a free agent after 2008. Barry Zito got 18 million a year image Santana 's value. How bad is this for the Twins.

I have a feeling that it was just emotions talking. My guess is they'll throw boatloads of money at him and he'll be back in Minnesota.

What I see going down is at some point (either in the off-season or at the 2008 deadline), the Twins pull off the blockbuster and ship Johan Santana to a contending team for a boatload of prospects.

However, whether Santana stays with that team, I don't know. In free-agency, he should be able to command one of the top contracts in the game.

Image his trade value

It'll be bad for baseball if he leaves Minnesota and goes to a big market team. I hope he stays.

Do you really think that after spending $100 million+ on one starting pitcher (not to mention the money wasted on Lugo and Drew), the BoSox would spend another incredible amount on Santana? I don't think so... especially if they win the East and the World Series this year.

If the Yanks fall short of the Series for a seventh straight year, I think they'll be alot more aggressive in going after Santana then the Sox will. The Yanks get back what made them so successful in the 98'-00' era- good, quality starting pitching. Ahh... the good old days with Wells, Pettitte, Clemens (version 1.0), Cone, etc...

Santana wont go to the NL bc they have dominant pitchers and he isnt the biggest hitter he will want to stay in the AL and hemaybe goin to the Sox or Yankees. bc they have the biggest payroll. and they have the team for him

[ThePundit]

I hope he stays with Minnesota. It's a sad state of affairs when a team can't keep their stars.
