According to the New York Post, the Cubs are one of the few teams who are in discussion with Johan Santana. They definitely have some of the young talent to pry him away, but they would really have to wow the Twins into trading him. The Cubs have Felix Pie, Carlos Marmol, Rich Hill, Ryan Theriot, Kevin Hart, and Sean Marshall and I think a combination of those would help get the job done.

Felix Pie would probably be a must for the Twins, considering that they just lost Hunter. Rich Hill would also probably be in there so the Twins would get a young, cheap starter that they could be able to keep for a few years and then Theriot or Cedeno added in because they just lost Bartlett . Carlos Marmol, would then be the icing on the cake, as he is one of the best young relievers in the game, and in order to get the best pitcher in the game, you will need to be able to offer some of the best young talent in the game as well.
