The Johan Santana thing has people around here a little blue. It’s not so much that he was traded away, which is something Minnesotans have dealt with in the past. Think Matt Lawton, who was a huge component to the Twins success when they began to turn it around. Then there was the whole deadline on getting traded, the insistence that he be dealt that soured people a bit on the whole situation, but we’ve seen people demand a trade, like Chuck Knoblauch. But Knobby was kind of a bastard, so it doesn’t compare. Santana had an outgoing and likable personality, so to see him twist the arm like he did with the Twins definitely hurts. The situation dragged on so long, however, that most of us are glad that it’s over than sad that he’s gone. If I cared about the NBA in the least, the Kevin Garnett deal would likely sting a lot more.
