Unbelievable. Amazin' even. I'm a die-hard Mets fan but I never thought this would happen. After the Yankees and Red Sox were falling all over each other this winter to try and pry Santana, perhaps the best pitcher in baseball, away from the small-market Twins, Omar Minaya earns his stripes and reels him in for the Mets!
Easily an upgrade over Tom Glavine, Santana is sure to make Met fans forget about their epic collapse at the end of last season. Combined with a full year of a healthy Pedro Martinez, the Mets have to be the early favorite in the NL East and likely the whole NL. Giddyup!
