Now Leaving Minnesota: Johan Santana

We were hoping the rumors weren’t true, but ESPN has confirmed that a trade is pending between the Minnesota Twins and New York Mets that will send Johan Santana to The Big Apple for four prospects.

Of all the Major League Baseball players we’ve met, Santana has been the biggest wiffleball fan.

Although the trade sends him closer to MLW headquarters in Cohoes, NY, it’s doubtful that we’ll have the pleasure of meeting with him again, since our primary contact person is a Minnesota Twins staff member.

If the trade goes through, we can only hope that the four players headed to Minnesota (Carlos Gomez, Phil Humber, Deolis Guerra, and Kevin Mulvey) are wiffleball fans too.

MLW staff is heading back to Florida for MLB spring training in March. While the Mets home of Port St. Lucie isn’t one of our scheduled destinations, we hope to get more Twins photos in Fort Myers and display them on this site.
