The FO messed up and didn't sign Santana when they had the chance to do so for less. Then Zito got his insane contract and threw the entire Free Agent process permanently out of whack.

That is why they dealt him instead of letting him walk. No. Because the Twins were not going to keep Castillo past 2007. That is why they dealt him instead of letting him walk.

I meant: Would Santana have tutned down the Mets offer and would Hunter have turned down the Angels offer in order to stay in Minnesota with Luis Castillo? I get it.

Sane

My response is Yes..
because luis walks at seasons end

unless you are asking if the twins would resign castillo at the end of the season..

but if your paying hunter and santana that kind of money then you are upper payroll and absurd amount

not to mention..
what are you going to do about joe nathan? if you pay johan and hunter then you gotta pay Joe..

then your asking yourself..
do i really want to pay $35 a ticket to sit in the upper deck?
