As an Indians fan, I would be thrilled if he resigned with the club!

Realistically I don’t see Santana in CLE next year. Tribe is most likely to move on and pick up similar production on a short term deal from the open market. His market and value would be much clearer had he worked out as a catcher.

He was terrible as a Catcher. So not really.

IMO he was serviceable as a catcher, but his offense made it worth it. That he was willing to play anywhere from 1B and 3B and LF at his point in his career tells me he’s a true team player. I’d like to see him stay around a few more years but just don’t see it happening.

Can’t see him signing with EE there. The tribe is gonna want to save money because of EE and they’re practically the same player.

I will truly feel there is synchronicity in the world if Carlos Santana ever chooses a black magic woman as his agent…

But there’s always a chance she’ll turn her back on him (baby) and might just break up his magic stick.

I’m not sure he’s quite as bad defensively as some of the guys who struggled this offseason, so he should be OK. Doubt the Tribe does a QO. Don’t think they think he’s worth the money, and he may take it since he can’t get another (so he’ll be guaranteed free & clear for 2019), and QO money will probably out distance his expected AAV for a longer contract.

Worst move for Dodgers in some time to get old Casey Blake for Santana. Amazing move on behalf of the Tribe! Anyone think he will get the same QO treatment of not being picked up till last minute next spring?

‘He probably won’t get one I don’t think Cleveland will risk that salary. Maybe if they are coming off a World Series and he has a big year, but most likely not otherwise.

As a fan, I would love to see Carlos return. My baseball sense, understanding Cleveland’s need to be selective, says there is absolutely no way he resigns. Unless spending is not an issue, you do not offer large sum multi-year deals to fill the positions of designated hitter or closer. Secondly, if the Indians had envisioned a deal with Santana, Edwin Encarnacion would not have been signed.
Despite his defensive limitations, he will land a contract he deserves based on his batting eye. He is truly one of most patient hitters in baseball as evidenced by his K/BB ratios.
