Wilpon Gives The Green Light

At The Star Tribune they write about Fred Wilpon and him green lighting Omar Minaya for the contract extension of Johan Santana should the Mets trade for him:

A turning point came when Wilpon gave the green light to GM Omar Minaya. If Minaya swings the trade, as I wrote about today, Wilpon is confident he’ll get Santana signed. In the Mets’ camp, there is a belief that the price for Santana won’t be quite as high as advertised. Santana might ask for a six-year, $150 million extension, but there’s a belief teams could negotiate down from there.
