The legend of Johan Santana grows. I love that he comes from the mountains. One day, Johan Santana came down from the Andes to pitch in the Majors. Someday, he will return to grow coffee and continue being awesome.
The Jeremy Reed era in Flushing is over. If you’re playing at home, that makes Sean Green the only player remaining with the Mets from that massive deal last offseason.
The Yanks cut Wang. Insert bris joke here.
Scott Olsen is returning to the Nats. Should make for some interesting off-field incidents and/or clubhouse controversy.
That Santana story is great. A couple of things that caught my eye:
– “Cy Youngazo” is a way cooler name than plain old “Cy Young.”
– This passage: “Santana was shadowed by three private security agents while about a dozen local police officers also kept an eye on him.” Holy crap.
I’m not one of these guys who hates on every move no matter what, but is it fair to say that Mariners/Indians trade was a disaster for the Mets?
