The Kansas City Royals signed right-hander Ervin Santana to a minor league deal on Tuesday. Santana didn't pitch at all in 2020, but the 15-year veteran should provide a young Royals pitching staff with experience. The 38-year-old has a career record of 149-127 and a 4.09 ERA (101 ERA+) in 387 games (384 starts). Santana was an All-Star in 2008 with the Angels and in 2017 with the Twins. But he's started just eight games since 2017, recording a combined 8.53 ERA with the Twins and White Sox. Although Santana hasn't pitched in the big leagues since 2019 with Chicago, he did have a 2.61 ERA with 25 strikeouts in 20 2/3 innings (five starts) for Tigres del Licey in the Dominican Winter League this year. While Santana will be an option for KC's rotation, he'll likely be more of a swing man and long-relief arm out of the bullpen if he makes the major league roster out of spring training.

New York Mets starting pitcher Ervin Santana has been assigned to High-A St. Lucie. Santana had been working out in Port St. Lucie since signing with the Mets. Through three starts this season with the Chicago White Sox, Santana compiled a downright ugly 9.45 ERA and 1.88 WHIP, giving up 14 earned runs through only 13 innings pitched. This could be the end of the line for the 36-year-old if he doesn't manage to find his stuff and get the call-up. He can be safely ignored in all fantasy formats.
