Santana coming to the Mets? That's way too good to be true. Has it really happened? This has not settled in yet. The Mets simply filled up their one true weakness with the best pitcher in baseball-who's still in his prime. This is one of the best moves the Mets have ever made and Santana is worth every penny of the 150 million plus he'll make in 7 years. The Mets have become clear favorites in the NL all of the sudden and are 2nd in early Las Vegas odds of winning the World Series. Again, too good to be true! The Mets needed him and they got him. I'm thrilled the negotiations are over and I can't wait to the Press conference, assuming he passes his physical next week. The Mets stole Santana, giving up main parts of a mediocre farm system. They kept their 2 top prospects-Martinez and Pelfrey. Huge victory for Omar, who just saved his jobs for a few years. Can't wait till Opening Day!
