Domingo Santana News
The Cleveland Indians declined 2021 options on relief pitcher Brad Hand ($10 million), first baseman Carlos Santana ($17.5 million) and outfielder Domingo Santana ($5 million) on Friday, making them free agents. Hand will receive a $500,000 buyout and the Santanas will each receive $250,000. The 30-year-old Hand led baseball with 16 saves this year, but he wasn't claimed by a team on outright waivers. He had 58 saves and a 2.78 ERA in 111 games for the Tribe the last two-plus years. Carlos Santana hit a career-low .199 with eight home runs and 30 RBI in 60 games, but it's possible he re-signs at a lesser contract.
The Cleveland Indians outfield shuffle continued Monday with Oscar Mercado being recalled from the clubs alternate training site while Domingo Santana was designated for assignment. Mercados open to the 2020 campaign has been woeful with a -23 OPS+ in his first 17 games, which earned him his demotion. Santana slashed .157/.298/.286 during his stint with Cleveland, but the acquisition of Josh Naylor forced a decision to be made. Having delivered a 108 OPS+ as recently as last season, Santana is likely to land with another team.
Cleveland Indians outfielder Domingo Santana went 1-for-4 with a double and three RBI on Saturday against the Tigers. Santana had only one hit, but made it count by delivering a three-RBI double in the sixth inning. That put Cleveland up 3-1, and was all the run support that they needed for the victory. Santana now has hits in three of his last four contests, driving in seven runs in that span. Overall, Santana is hitting .177/.320/.323 to go along with 12 RBI and six runs scored across 75 plate appearances. He hasn't been productive for fantasy purposes but is a streaky hitter and is one to monitor in deeper-mixed leagues.
