This deal works out for everyone (except Phillies fans, and who cares about them).
Red Sox wanted to keep him from yankees, Yankees wanted to keep Hughes and Joba and keep him from Red Sox,
Twins get quantity of prospects who will help down the road but not now and ship Santana out of league.
Mets get what they needed - a top pitcher who isn't broken down (yet), and can afford to spend their money since they are still under the luxury tax.
This thread doesn't seem right without Keyser.
