Santana derby over

Finally, we all know where Johan Santana is headed.

In case you haven't heard yet, it's to the New York Mets for a bundle of prospects, but not the Mets top position player or pitching prospect.

If you're a Twins fan, this is a bit disconcerting as it appears Minnesota overplayed its hand and settled on less than market value for its ace.

At any rate, the Mets have a 72-hour window to finish an extension with Santana and wrap up the trade.

As for the Mets being the team to beat in the National League, that's open for debate, but every fifth day they have one heckuva chance to contend for that title.
