Wow... Red Sox and Yankees are talking to the Twins about Santana. Might as well wave good-bye to him because there's ZERO way he's going to be in Minny next year. If they're talking this openly, I'm pretty sure Santana wants no part of this franchise. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3133598 |

Santana already paved his way out of MN after his comments last season. He can go give up 30 HR's in New York next year. I wish they'd keep him, but the fact there are only 2-3 teams that can afford him says it all.

(In my best singing voice) Money, money, money, money. MONEY!!! I want to be paid just like the next guy, but sometimes this stuff just bothers me. When Radke was a free agent a few years ago, he could have left for greener pastures, but stayed to see if he could get things done here where he had played his whole career. If Torii and Santana took after that example, they would accept modest contracts to stay and see if they could bring another WS ring to the state of Minnesota. Oh well. Hopefully, the trades bring in the right guys and the Twins are able to fill wholes to stay competitive. I don't blame Torii for going to the Angels as they have a good franchise and they paid him. It is disappointing though. If he really wanted to stay, he would have. What a bunch of BS.

from what I heard a month or so ago, he was throwing off a mound ~30 pitches. It sounds like he is doing quite well and should be ready to go.

pitchers coming back from Tommy John often throw harder than they did before. If he throws harder....wow.

so, he doesn't get traded after all. Apparently the Twins offered him 5 years, 93 million. Not too far from what he wants.

What a homo. He turned down that deal because of 1.4 million a year.  Reminds me of ben wallace. The pistons offered him 4 years, 48 million. He signed with chicago for 4 years 52 million. He was in the paper this week talking about how he regrets it. |

Blohan to the Mets for...... ???? Great move..... some of these dudes better be 20 game winners or the Twins will lose 90 games this year. There's always the Vik.... well, the Wild? I hear they play hockey in MN ?
BHAAHHAAHHA!!!!!!!!! Peter Gammons basically said the Mets gave them shit for Blohan.... raped again!

Johan wants 24 million a year. Fuck him. I'll laugh hysterically if he throws his arm out this year and needs Tommy John. At least he's in the NL and won't hurt the Twins much. I say the Twins are .500 this year only because they still have A LOT of pitching.

24 million? Wow. I guess 20 a year for the next 4 years wasn't good enough. At least he is in the NL and the Twins won't every face the guy. This sucks because the Twins now basically have no proven starters going into next season. Could be very dicey unless guys step up and Liriano is not only healthy, but ready to pitch 200+ innings. I still think they can compete, but who knows? Even with Johan, they would have been fighting with the Indians for second place in the division.
