I remember two years ago I posted that Santana got signed for 4 years and nobody cared at all. Funny how things can change.No way he can leave. Polad has raped the people of Minnesota allready with his tax's to build one of the richest people in the world (him) a crapy rushed stadium. If he lets Santana, Mauer or Morneau go no one will come to see us when the new stadium arives.

I'm sure the Twins will do the same

I'm sure the Twins will do the same[/quote]They said on the radio this morning that the Twins profitted more than any other team in the MLB in 2006, while both the Yankees and Red Sox lost money.Twins will keep Santana. If they don't, they are being tight assed and cheap.
