USA Today is reporting that a deal is in place to trade Johan Santana to the Mets for Carlos Gomez, Phil Humber, Kevin Mulvey and Deolis Guerra.

I don't have a great minor league prospect mind, but at first glance this deal doesn't leave me too excited. I'll be sure to provide more as things are confirmed and I have some time to think it over.

Update: The Star Tribune now has the story up. The deal is pending physicals and, as expected, a contract extension for Santana.

Topics: Johan Santana, Carlos Gomez, Kevin Mulvey, Phil Humber, Deolis Guerra
