| 5th December, 2007 - 1:36 pm | SI.com - With the Red Sox still trying to match names with the Twins, other teams are trying to jump into the Johan Santana sweepstakes, including the Mets, SI.com has learned.
The Red Sox are offering multiplayer packages of players starting with either pitcher Jon Lester or outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury, but the Twins are also fielding calls from other teams. It is possible that the Twins, which hoped for a package that included both Lester and Ellsbury, still aren't completely satisfied with Boston's proposals.
The Mets have been aggressive in trying to get back into the mix, and while a Twins person suggested days ago that he saw the Mets as an extreme longshot unless Jose Reyes was included, it appears they are at least listening to Mets proposals that don't include Reyes.
The Mets have two excellent outfield prospects, Carlos Gomez and Fernando Martinez, and a handful of pitching prospects, led by Kevin Mulvey and Mike Pelfrey, and are trying to form a package to entice Minnesota while the Twins continue to negotiate with Boston. [READ] |
