Should the Cubs trade for Johann Santana?
and give up Mark Prior, Sean Marshall, Felix Pie, Matt Murton, and Ryan Dempster.....plus any player in their minor league that the twins want?

Twins do not want most of these guys - and Santana does not include the Cubs on the list of teams he will lift his no trade clause with.

You would, in a heartbeat, but the Twins wouldn't. The Twins don't want Prior, Murton, and Dempster, they are looking for solid young pitching prospects to keep their team competitive until those players reach a level of value where they will be traded as well.

No way that the Twins would go for that trade... The only legit starter without injury risks is Felix Pie and he's too young to really have that great of an impact.
The Twins are getting much better offers from other teams.

Yes they should trade for him. Trading like 2 or 3 young players 1 or 2 young pitchers and pie or a few other players not sure right now. And to comment on Pie he broke his leg a year or 2 ago and thats why it took until this year for him to be in the majors.

I am a Yankee fan so I would say no because I would rather keep Cabrea and Hughes for Santana. Hughes is a great pticher and Cabrea is the best outfielder on the team and can have a 300 average. Cabrea had 14 outfield assits last year. Plus both of them are younger than Santana.

No, Johan isn't on Cubs' wanted list that they don't want him as they have decision to keep the rotation younger. Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees are interest in him as trade him for four prospects.

Too late. Apparently the Sox and Twins reached a deal.
(I heard this from someone who heard it from someone who claims it was reported on the radio)
Johan could always use his No-Trade Clause to block the deal though.

Should they? Yes. Will they? No. Apparently they think that they can start Big Z every single game and don't want to concern themselves with getting us some freaking pitchers.
