John Donovan at SI.com says the Mets went from ‘non-factors’ to ‘an instant, and legitimate, World Series front-runner’ with the recent acquisition of Johan Santana.
Donovan writes…
“The Mets are giving away a potentially huge part of their future by trading four of their top seven prospects. But for what they stand to get in return — a durable, determined, soon-to-be 29-year-old lefty who has thrown at least 200 innings and struck out more than 200 batters in each of the past four years — this was nothing short of a hijacking by Minaya”
