Joe Christensen is back with some news about Johan Santana. He says the New York Mets are confident they would be able to sign Johan Santana to the extension he requires to waive his no-trade clause.
The key piece of news is Mets' owner Fred Wilpon has given GM Omar Minaya to green light to pursue Johan. Maybe the drop in price that would follow a Yankees' withdrawal is exactly what the Mets needed to make their package of prospects more attractive.
