Santana is a good hitter but a terrible defender at 1B and will be 32 on opening day. Don't understand this unless another move is coming. I don't even know what other moves besides Machado would make any sense.

I would bet one of the OF's, with it most likely being Williams then Altherr

P. weird. Has a really long swing now which doesn't bode well. Maybe could get a couple 30 HR 850 OPS seasons out of him

20 million a year is so insane

3rd year will hurt.

Yep

I’m out

Posted in another thread that maybe Klentak is trying to put together a deal for Machado which would include De Los Santos and either Altherr or Williams (or Odubel).

Yeah, gotta think there's probably more to this.

Sure it is possible but Santana really isn't an important cog in that happening.

smh I don’t get it [/PiP]

This ain't the last shoe to fall.

Stays healthy, walks at a nice clip, was ok in the field last year.....I dunno outside the 3rd year I’m alright with the move

I can't believe we just gave up our 2nd round pick, 60 million and took Hoskins off 1B for this guy.

This draft is really really good and deep too.

He is, assuming they move Hoskins to LF thereby freeing up a young OF for a Machado trade.

good defender

guess they like Hoskins in the outfield

guys, we have so much money to burn. 3 years is a good deal these days. Feel like 4/5 years ago this would be a 5/$100+m deal

Santana has put up Abreu-esque consistent numbers for 7 straight years.
