I was listening to Michael Kay on the radio and he gave a pretty good explanation why the Yankees won't trade Matsui (even though they should). For one thing, he has a no-trade clause (already stated). For another, the Yankees pull in a lot of money from Japan. The YES network broadcasts all regular-season games to Japan, where Matsui still has a huge following. If they lose Godzilla, that's potentially a lot of lost revenue for them.
If the Twins turned were turning down the offers that the Yankees and Red Sox were offering, then there's no way in hell the Mets can land Santana....not without giving up Reyes, which would be very counterproductive for them. I think they're better off going after Dontrelle Willis. Word is that the Tigers might have a hard time signing both him and Miguel Cabrerra.

Cameron originally envisioned the Terminator as a small, unremarkable man, giving it the ability to blend in more easily. As a result, his first choice for the part was Lance Henriksen. O. J. Simpson was on the shortlist but Cameron did not think that such a nice guy could be a ruthless killer.
