Who- Johan Santana
What- Got traded to the New York Mets
When- Jan 30, 2008
Where- New York
Why- Because first the New York Yankees lost intrest in him then after they lost their intrest for Santana the Boston Redsoxs as well started to lose intrest for him. They say that they reather hold on to their top prospects the to just get one player.
How- The Mets emerged as the top candidate after December’s winter meetings, when the Yankees withdrew their offer, which included pitcher Phil Hughes and outfielder Melky Cabrera, and the Red Sox refused to improve their proposals, which would have sent pitcher Jon Lester or outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury to the Twins along with other prospects. Also Minnesota would receive speedy outfielder Carlos Gomez, and pitchers Philip Humber, Deolis Guerra and Kevin Mulvey. So it was a very good trade because the Mets needed a Ace pither and the Twins got 4 good prospects.
