Honestly if I were the Twins I'd keep Johan. They have a chance to compete this year. And if they are godawful come July 31 I wouldn't be shocked if he has a change of heart. And they wouldn't really be getting "nothing" for him...I wouldn't underestimate the value of draft picks.

The plus side for the Mets is that Johan hitting free agency means we've got a chance to got him for 2009 with Delgado, Pedro, El Duque, Alou, and others coming off the payroll. Doesn't help their chances any for landing someone for 2008 though.

In other news, Peavy is close to an extension that would keep him in San Diego through 2012.
