Diamondbacks Expressing Interest in Carlos Santana
The Arizona Diamondbacks are reportedly interested in signing free-agent first baseman Carlos Santana. According to John Gambadoro, the D-Backs have expressed interest in Santana, but there's no deal in place right now. The 39-year-old would be a strong veteran presence and leader to any organization, but it's unclear how much baseball he has left in the tank. Last season, Santana slashed .219/.308/.325 with 11 home runs, 54 RBI, and seven steals in 124 games between the Cleveland Guardians and Chicago Cubs. The D-Backs are likely committed to Pavin Smith at first base to begin the season. It's unclear if the D-Backs want to carry Santana on the bench, given he's basically limited to first base and designated hitter. Regardless, his days of being a consistent fantasy option are likely behind him.
