The news that the best pitcher in Twins history had been traded to the Mets surprised me last week. That's because I was under the impression that the Twins already had traded Johan Santana to Boston months earlier as the player to be named in the Kevin Garnett trade. Or was Santana the player who completed the Randy Moss deal? No, wait. That was Torii Hunter, right? Oh, well. It doesn't really matter now, does it? The point is, the Twins had to trade Santana to someone because, well, those are the rules in Minnesota..............................

Haha, good article, sums up alot of what I feel about Minnesota sports.
Someday we'll once again feel what it's like to have a star stay in Minnesota his whole career again.

What star - outside of franchise QBs - in any sport, stays with one team for an entire career?
It is EXTREMELY rare - in ANY size market for that to happen it the age of free agency.
