Dusty Brown, Jed Lowrie and Michael Bowden at Pawtucket last Saturday (taken by me)
Michael Silverman of the Boston Herald reports (according to boston.com) that:
"The Mets, and not the Red Sox or Yankees, remain the front-runner as the team most likely to succeed in pulling off a trade for Minnesota ace Johan Santana…"
Now, who knows whether or not this is even close to being true? But, I’ll admit, as long as the Yankees don’t end up with him, the Red Sox not getting him wouldn’t break me up too much.
Make no mistake, Santana is a fantastic pitcher and any team would be extremely fortunate to have him. But the price for him is something I’m not necessarily willing to pay.
And we all know it’s all about me! 🙂
Seeing some of the young ones (Jon Lester, Justin Masterson, Jed Lowrie, Michael Bowden…to name a few who have been mentioned in the trade rumors) this month has gotten me very excited about the future for the Sox. We’re coming off of a World Championship with the majority of the team in tact and as much as Santana would be a great addition to the team – he isn’t a needed addition.
So, truly, if the Mets pick him up? Good for them. Of course, while I want Theo to keep the kids, I also don’t want the Yankees to end up with Santana. Although, I felt the same way about the Yankees getting ARod and look how well that has worked out for the Red Sox. 🙂
Bronson tomorrow night. And then my off-season of baseball-related activities comes to an end.
Oh yeah – and there are 20 days until pitchers and catchers report!
