Cleveland Guardians placed former twin Gold Glove First Honkman Carlos Santana on outright distance statements
Carlos Santana may soon be coming to a new teamBecause the Guardians have placed the former gold glover on outright distance statements, According to the Athletics Ken Rosenthal and Zack Meisel. Teams now have 48 hours to take Santana, in order of record from the worst to the best, and this year are paying its remaining salary (just over $ 2 million).
Santana, 39, is worth 1,2 bwar and cut .225/.316/.333 (80 Ops+) with 11 gayers this season. He made his MLB debut with Cleveland in 2010 and was worth 39.4 with a 112 Ops+ during his 16-year career.
Santana, a former catcher, had solid figures last year with Minnesota and placed 2.5 bwar and a .238/.328/.420 (109 Ops+) Slash line. He earned his first career Gold Glove Award with the Twins as the first Honkman.
It was logical for the Guardians to take Santana from a distance, because he is only under contract for this season and Cleveland will probably not make the play -offs. The Guardians will be able to save money and give priority to the use of Kyle Manzardo and CJ Kayfus at first base instead of a wrestling veteran if a team claims the former Twins First Baseeman of distance statements.
The Guardians signed Santana for a one -year -old Deal worth $ 12 million in the past outside the season after trade in the first Honkman Josh Naylor to the Arizona Diamondbacks in exchange for right -handed pitch Cecconi and a competition balance design.
Santana has been in five other MLB teams in his 16-year career, after his 16-year career, after he played for Kansas City Royals, Philadelphia Phillies, Milwaukee Bewers, Pittsburgh Pirates and Seattle Mariners. In 2019 he made an All-Star Game performance as guardian.
The twins have no reason to claim Santana on this point in the season, but they will probably have the opportunity to do this on the basis of where they are in the Waiver Claim assignment. Santana may not be claimed, but a team with a lack of production at first base to compete to make the late season, will probably claim the veteran.
