Santana upset in Minnesota, questions being there.

[erik316wttn]

Johan Santana is upset with the Twins organization and will likely want out after next season when his contract is up.

"It doesn't make any sense for me to be here, you know?"

A 1 and 2 of Z and Santana would make me cry.Go get him Jimbo

[seanimal]

I wonder if Z has any pull with his fellow countryman. Those numbers get even better in the National League...

That wouldn't be 1 and 2. It would be 1 and 1A, and make Wood and Prior at the top of the rotation look like crap.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

It would take a whole lot to get Santana...and whatever the price, it would be worth it.

Santana

A less ideal but probably more practical thought, but hopefully he'd get dealt to somebody like the Dodgers, so there's one less suitor for Z.

[Sarcastic]

If the Cubs got Santana (hypothetically), I can't see Z getting to be the ace in front of him. Zambrano isn't nearly as good as Santana.

 

Obviously, this is a pipe dream. But it would be cool. While we're dreaming, imagine if Prior was actually healthy for a year (more likely to happen than the Cubs picking up Santana, anyway). That would be a hell of a rotation.

And Marquis's overpriced contract just disappears?

[Warren Brusstar]

Do you think Santana would clear waivers?

Hugo Chavez will take care of that.

Santana uses his superpowers to turn back time to before Hendry agreed to the contract, then goes forward again and plays for the Cubs.

Oh sorry I didnt clarify, in my dream world he's been traded away for a fungo bat and a bag of balls.

And after having a major hole in the Cubs rotation that the Cubs attempted to fill disastrously with Mike Maroth, the Cubs finish 7 games behind the brewers in the NL Central in 2007

[The Voice of Reason]

I think the Cubs will definitely pick up Santana at the end of the season - right after they sign ARod. :roll:

And Cabrera. Don't forget that we're trading Jacques and Yosh Kawano for Miggy. That's a key acquisition.

[Magnetic Curses]

i guess it depends on who buys the team and if z is even still here. he'd be a great option if z goes elsewhere. but in order to get him, we'd have to make the twins majority owners of the cubs.

[Sammy Sofa]

If Cuban ends up owning the team, I see no reason why they wouldn't go hard trying to either trade for him next year or sign him.

[Balsa]

Yeah right.

 

If anyone thinks the Yankees will be outbid for Santana, you're smoking something.

[Sammy Sofa]

So people are convinced a Cuban-owned Cubs would have no chance competing with the Yankees money-wise?

[Derwood]

i'm not even going to begin pretending this would happen. It's entirely unlike the organization to get a big time free agent entering his prime.

[SouthSideRyan]

So what does Santana get as a free agent? 7/170?

[RyCubsFan]

So Soriano doesn't count? (Maybe you're thinking he's past his prime...)

[Sammy Sofa]

Whatever he wants. Even if he wanted it paid in babies.

31 at the start of an 8 year deal? Yeah....
