According to WFAN’s Mike Francesa, citing ‘the word,’ Johan Santana recently turned down a five-year, $100 million contract offer from the Twins, because he is still holding out for a seven-year, $140 million deal.
Francesa also added the following gem…
“This means the Mets are front and center…
“I still think the Mets are gonna get him, I’ve said that a couple times during the last couple of weeks. Now it looks like it’s moving in that direction.”
…this from the man who has essentially mocked the Mets at every step of the way, suggesting they have no chance 
to get santana unless they trade Jose Reyes, knowing full well that reyes is going no place…now, all of sudden, he claims to have favored the Mets…does he even listen to what he says…god knows i do, and i hate myself because of it…
…at any rate, as i said earlier today, i believe santana and his agents may have made a request to get this process moving, but i don’t feel it was anything formal or threatening…well, rejecting a five-year, $100 million offer is a pretty clear message i would say…

Wasn’t that Tito? or Raphael?

Don’t eat too much red meat or listen to this Santana BS and you will be fine!
Francesa is an idiot.
He’s always right, according to him. Never is he wrong.
I hate comments like this
A person with firsthand knowledge of the club’s dealings with the Twins acknowledged Tuesday that the Mets have received a “best offer” request of the American League club, an indication perhaps that the Santana trade scenario has moved into its final stage.
just gets your hopes up that much more
Francesa is a joke!
He has as much credibility as O.J.
As late as last night he was saying that the Twins won’t come off of Reyes.
Either Mike Francesa is THE personal confidant of both the Twins and the Mets’ General Managers — and they are telling him things that they tell to NO ONE else — or he is completely and utterly out of the loop.
But it’s always been this way with Francesa. He’s wrong about almost everything, but he’s so arrogant and sure of himself that he sells it. He’s made a decent career out of nothing. He talks a good game, but after listening to him since their show came on the air, I’ve consistently said that he thinks he knows more than he actually does.
“dancran” and “peter” -
where are you?
more to offer from “inside” or should we write you off as not serious?
You have to admit that the mets are only in the lead to get santana because both the yankees and redsox arent willing to give up there top prospects to get santana, if the yankees or redsox wanted santana, they have better prospects than the mets! if the mets get him, it’s by default!
According to my sources, cowboys ride horses.
After hearing from others whose sources are legit, I’d wager, instead, that those horses just took a big smelly sh…
Mad dog is even more stupid then Francesca. Mad dog on says stull to piss off NY fans because hes jealous his SF Giants suck so bad.
Agreed
I think everyone here who questioned dancran and esspecially peter who nailed the deal straight down to the prospects should give them the credit they deserve. Even though i didnt do it out loud im going to do that right now, nice job boys!
