Mets deal for super starter Santana

January 30, 2008 (ny post) – When Red Sox officials flew to Nashville in early December for the Winter Meetings, they were convinced the Yankees would land Johan Santana because of a willingness to include Phil Hughes

Yet yesterday afternoon, the Yankees and Red Sox were bystanders as the Mets completed the biggest score any team made this offseason - and perhaps the biggest trade in their history - by sending four prospects to Minnesota to actually acquire Santana, a two-time Cy Young winner whose presence catapults the Mets not only to NL East favorites, but perhaps to the team to beat in the entire league.

The trade - in which the Mets dealt outfielder Carlos Gomez and pitchers Kevin Mulvey, Philip Humber and Deolis Guerra - is not complete until Santana passes a physical and agrees to an extension. The Mets have until 5 p.m. on Friday to finalize a new contract, and they already were working with Santana’s agent, Peter Greenberg, yesterday. The two sides are slated to have a meeting today with the expectation that the Mets will get a deal done by friday.
