The Johan Santana sweepstakes come to a close. After a week of back and forth negotiations with several clubs for his services, Washington and Toronto finally come to an agreement to send the lefthanded star north of the border.
In return, we get a very solid, every day 2B to replace the recently traded Jose Vidro, a young starting pitcher with strong potential, and two outfield prospects who are very close to getting their shot at the bigs already.
At this juncture, I feel it's necessary to load up on young talent. Especially talent that is cheap, as we aren't an organization that can afford the luxury of a big payroll. How this deal affects our chances of competing in 2004 remains to be seen. But, I do feel it helps us drastically in the long run.
