Santana is gone

Well, various news outlets are reporting that Johan Santana has been traded to the Mets for four prospects. That is bad news for the Twins, because they will lose the services of a two-time Cy Young award winner and arguably baseball's best pitcher. As I have said before, it is not so much that Carl Pohlad can't pay Santana what he is worth--he just does not want to.

It is also bad news for the Washington Nationals, who will have to face him this year. The only good news is that I might be able to see him pitch this summer in Washington.

The answer to yesterday's Jeopardy question? Not Alex Trebek--Simon Cowell.

Oh, that Santana! Sheesh. You had me worried for Carlos. ;-)
