F-Mart and Gomez?

[John Strubel]

As the Johan Santana rumors continue, it has been reported that the Twins are holding out for Carlos Gomez and Fernando Martinez as part of a deal that would ship Johan to the Mets. The Mets have already offered Deolis Guerra, Kevin Mulvey and Philip Humber.

Let's play Armchari GM for a moment: If the deal hinges on the Mets including all five prospects, would you make the deal?

Morning John:

Best of everything on your new site.

The addition of Ryan Church into the mix makes things very interesting. Let's say you offer Church, Fernando Martinez, and both Mike Pelfrey and Phil Humber... you get the game's top pitcher, and you get to keep Carlos Gomez (who can split time with Chavez) and Kevin Mulvey.

I like the idea very much.
