NEW YORK, Feb. 1 (UPI) -- The New York Mets completed a trade Friday that brought them pitcher Johan Santana, who reportedly will receive $150 million over seven years.
The two-time Cy Young Award winner comes to the Mets from Minnesota, where in 2007 he produced his worst season since becoming a full-time starter.
New York agreed this week to send the Twins prospects Carlos Gomez, Deolis Guerra, Kevin Mulvey and Phil Humber. The deal was contingent on the Mets coming to terms with Santana on a contract extension and that was achieved Friday.
The New York Daily News reported the terms of the contract.
Santana went 15-13 last year with an earned run average of 3.33. But after the All-Star break he was just 5-7 with a 4.04 ERA.
Since moving into a starting role four years ago, Santana has won 70 games with a 2.89 ERA and 983 strikeouts.
Fashion Week Diary: Day One
I'm really sad that the Real Housewives of Orange County is over for the season. I love that show. I love that Vicky. She likes to party. She's growing her business. Laurie's wedding was gorgeous. So that turned out great, and I want Quinn to find a nice man. It didn't work out with the golf instructor but maybe next season she'll have more luck." But worries about what the strike means for the crew of her SAG Award-winning sitcom." I worry about our crew. I've heard a lot of sad stories about crew members who are really struggling. That makes me sad. The actors we are already overpaid for what we do but the crew members don't. They're like our family. We miss being at work." We almost died when Jenna's cast mate Angela Kinsley showed up, very pregnant, to show her support for Jenna.

Everyone was interested to see how he held up at the combine, particularly how fast he could go. This will certainly help, though Bowman still could be a late-round guy due to his injury past. Bowman recently wrote a draft diary for NFLplayers.com. Here's some of it: I always told myself that I wouldn't go to Nebraska, but I had a change of heart on the airplane when I landed. It was a fun time there. I met my fiancée there and football-wise had a really good first year there. I didn't play my second year at Nebraska due to a knee injury. My third year, I played, but we didn't have quite as successful of a season as we all wanted to. It is what it is though and I learned from it. I had some ups and downs while I was at Nebraska, but I got through it. After the 2006 season I considered entering the NFL Draft, but in the end I decided to come back for another year at Nebraska.
