According to ESPN.com, the Twins and Yankees are having preliminary discussions about a deal that would bring ace left-hander Johan Santana to the Bronx. I would expect that at least one big pitching prospect (Joba Chamberlain, Philip Hughes or Ian Kennedy), one position player (Cano or Cabrera) and another prospect. The Yankees have to be the favorites for two reasons. 1) That package of prospects will be as good as any offered, and 2) The Yankees can afford to sign Santana to a 7 year extension, a demand of Santana in order for him to waive his no trade clause.
As a Mets fan, I can only hope that the Yankees refuse to deal Chamberlain or Hughes and that thew Twins demand one of them be included. The Mets simply do not have the young talent to compete with the Yankees in this area, however I believe the Mets are willing to move anyone outside of Reyes and Wright, and this could be their only saving grace.

I agree that the Mets should pretty much give the Twins their pick of players to get johan (outside of wright and reyes). we need to do everything we can to get this guy. ive seen too many mets "prospects" go up in flames. sure id love to see guys like milledge, fernando martinez, pelfrey, gomez, etc have great careers as mets and join the likes of reyes and wright as home grown studs, but odds are they just wont. if the twins want a package like fernando martinez, pelfrey, maine, and another medicore prospect..im all for it. if they want milledge, guerra, heilman, pelfrey...theyre all urs.
