Santana/Reyes/Haren Blockbuster In The Works?
Just got an incredible rumor from a trusted New York sportswriter. Stay with me, because this one's crazy. But rest assured that if the source wasn't good, I wouldn't post it.
Minnesota has initiated talks for a three-way blockbuster with the Twins and A's. Here's how it would go down:
Mets send Jose Reyes, Kevin Mulvey, and Hector Pellot to A's
A's send Bobby Crosby and Dan Johnson to Mets
A's send Dan Haren to Twins
Twins send Johan Santana to Mets
Mets get Johan Santana, Bobby Crosby and Dan Johnson
A's get Jose Reyes and Kevin Mulvey
Twins get Dan Haren and Hector Pellot
The source says Haren is exactly the type of player the Twins want for Santana, a cheap frontline starter. It's known the Mets would hate to deal Reyes but they would get some value beyond Santana. Billy Beane is happy because he gets Reyes for one more year than he had Haren plus longtime favorite Mulvey. And, he's out of Crosby's contract.
i dont se it happening...haren will be in santanas situation in 2 years.
i guess it could happen, it makes sense for all teams involved for reasons mentioned in the article.....but with three big names involved im sure it would get complicated and fall through even if it picks up any steam.
No one is taking it seriously b/c everyone knows even if he wanted to Omar cant trade Reyes b/c he would be killed by the media and Fans. He cant move Wright for the same reason. Maybe he could move Beltran but he would also have to pillage an already weak ML system to get the Twins to even consider it
At this point the Mets are kidding themselves if they think they are going to land an Ace pitcher via trade.
If I'm them I suck it up and go sign B.Colon to a 1 year deal w/ a club option for a second and hope that he can at least get you through the season w/ some respectable numbers and maybe even catch lighting in a bottle w/ him
Then hope that Johan stays w/ the Twins and hits FA'cy and go hard after him. Or they can do the same w/ CC Sabathia who I believe is a FA after this year
Santana/Reyes/Haren Blockbuster?
No way.
