The Mets have agreed to a trade with the Minnesota Twins to acquire Johan Santana for four prospects, pending the left-hander working out an extension with New York.

The Mets have been granted a 48- to 72-hour window to work out a new contract with Santana.

If New York can work out a contract agreement with Minnesota, the Mets will send outfielder Carlos Gomez and pitchers Phil Humber, Deolis Guerra and Kevin Mulvey to the Twins.

I think he’s landing in NY only because there were no direct flights to Boston.

They’re still $50mil apart on the contract negotiations… I’m sure it’ll get done, and I bet Johan will get what he wants…
