Santana/Reyes/Haren Rumor

Just got an incredible rumor from a trusted New York sportswriter. Stay with me, because this one's crazy. But rest assured that if the source wasn't good, I wouldn't post it.

Minnesota has initiated talks for a three-way blockbuster with the Twins and A's. Here's how it would go down:

Mets send Jose Reyes, Kevin Mulvey, and Hector Pellot to A's
A's send Bobby Crosby and Dan Johnson to Mets
A's send Dan Haren to Twins
Twins send Johan Santana to Mets

Mets get Johan Santana, Bobby Crosby and Dan Johnson
A's get Jose Reyes and Kevin Mulvey
Twins get Dan Haren and Hector Pellot

The source says Haren is exactly the type of player the Twins want for Santana, a cheap frontline starter. It's known the Mets would hate to deal Reyes but they would get some value beyond Santana. Billy Beane is happy because he gets Reyes for one more year than he had Haren plus longtime favorite Mulvey. And, he's out of Crosby's contract.

Wow. Doubt it's true but that is a very detailed rumor. Maybe a bit too detailed...

idk if it means anything, but there's some typo's in the rumor and idk if it was an actual rumor that they'd let that get through...it sounds stupid, but i was kinda just thinking out loud

It has a 0.99% chance of happening.

i'd giv it less than that...the twins are gettin hosed...givin up santana for 2/3 years of haren b/c its basically straight up haren for santana and the twins r just gonna go through this again in a couple years wit haren

Billy Beane came out and said it was fake. It's obvious since Beane thinks base stealers are overrated.
