Santana to Mets for 4 Prospects

USA Today is reporting that the New York Mets have reached a tentative deal with the Twins to acquire Johan Santana for 4 players, believed to be outfielder Carlos Gomez and pitchers Phil Humber, Deolis Guerra and Kevin Mulvey. Unlike the signings of Justin Morneau and Michael Cuddyer, which were roundly lauded by Twins fans, this deal is getting mixed reviews in the comments on the Twins Insider blog. Unfortunately, there is no immediate help in the deal for the Twins; the prospects are not likely to meaningfully contribute until 2009 at the earliest.

Well, that was a quicker resolution to Sin Johan No Hay Paraiso than I expected.
