Chicago Cubs Reportedly Looking at Newly-Free Agent Carlos Santana ...Middle East

With his playing time reduced in Cleveland by younger players, and with the possibility that he could join a competitive club elsewhere down the stretch, Carlos Santana and the Guardians reached a “joint decision” to part ways ahead of roster expansion in September.

And it sounds like he could indeed be landing with a competitive club in the Chicago Cubs.

The main clue is that, when Michael says something like this, the deal is probably happening:

I wonder if the Cubs would consider signing Carlos Santana.

Second, Hector Gomez reported a little while after that the Cubs were in talks “to acquire” Santana. He’s a free agent, so I presume that means sign.

Santana, 39, hit just .225/.316/.333/86 wRC+ this season, but there was a little bad luck there, and he also hit above average overall in each of the three previous seasons. There’s probably still some value there in a veteran reserve role, as a switch-hitter coming off the bench and still able to play quality defensive first base. He’s also hit lefties a good bit better than righties this year (and for his career), and that’s where the Cubs might prefer him most in any case.

If the Cubs go this route, it could be that Santana replaces Owen Caissie on the roster as a reserve – it’s not like Caissie is drawing a lot of at bats right now anyway – or it’s possible the Cubs simply wait to add Santana on Monday, when rosters expand to 28 and they get an extra position player spot anyway.
