they were offered Zito for 7 years $17 million and turned it down.
No one else offered over $100 million. The Mets paid upwards of $130 (including the buyout), so go Omar.
And the Yankees weren't going to sign Zito until they could trade Johnson anyway.
I really don't think Johnson is going anywhere, if he is, the Yanks better get something that will help this year, because their pitching stinks and he had a decent year (underlying stats, he was unlucky with ERA)
In the Star-Tribune, Patrick Reusse believes the Twins will now end up trading LHP Johan Santana after next season, thanks to Barry Zito’s $126 million deal with the Giants.
…santana will be 28 years old after next season, like zito was this off-season, he’s lefty like zito and better than zito…i can only imagine what he will ask for, and the twins are certain to not give it to him…if santana hits the trade market after next season, or this coming trade deadline should the twins be out of contention, i would have to think the Mets would jump to their feet…

galt...wrong again.
I love him. He's like those happy old people who become known for sitting by the side of a busy street and waving to passing cars. People drive by regularly and beep just to see him and get him to wave to them.
That's just like our Arpi... except he doesn't wave or anything. He just says mean things to you.
