Buzz: Forget Reyes for Santana
In a recent update for FOXSports.com, Ken Rosenthal tells us to forget about the Mets trading SS Jose Reyes to the Twins for LHP Johan Santana.
In fact, Rosenthal writes…
“Maybe forget about the Mets getting Santana, period. Though the Mets are deep in outfield prospects, their top young pitchers – right-handers Mike Pelfrey and Philip Humber – aren’t as highly regarded as the Yankees. And the Twins presumably would want elite pitching back for Santana.”
Meanwhile, in Newsday, citing ‘a person familiar with Minnesota’s operations,’ Ken Davidoff writes that the Yankees will be asked to part with All-Star 2B Robinson Cano in a deal for Santana.
…i’ve said it before, and i’ll say it again, if the Mets want to trade for a young starting pitcher, and intend to use Lastings Milledge to get him, they should aim towards the Bay Area and Baltimore, not Minnesota and Miami…
