The Indians announced that they’ve designated outfielder Domingo Santana for assignment. The move makes room for newly acquired outfielder Josh Naylor, catcher Austin Hedges and right-hander Cal Quantrill, whom the Indians got from the Padres on Monday.
The 28-year-old Santana joined the Indians last winter for $1.5MM off back-to-back lackluster seasons with the Brewers and Mariners, but his attempt at a rebound hasn’t worked in 2020. Before the Indians booted him from their roster, Santana batted .157/.298/.286 with a pair of home runs in 84 plate appearances. His contract includes a $5MM option for 2021, but considering his production so far, the Indians surely would’ve bought him out for $250K had they kept him in the fold.
We hardly knew ye
Mariners could use a DH. Reunion??
Not after acquiring Ty France. Dylan Moore is due back soon as well.
I’d be more excited about this if Naylor was more of an upgrade over Santana than he is, but I guess baby steps are better than taking a step backward.
I think a 23 year old that is 2 years from Arb and has a lot of potential to grow into is a big upgrade over Domingo.
I agree, but CLE needs a stud OF who can produce now and in the post season. This was a kinda today move for the Tribe, but mostly a tomorrow move.
Pick him up Braves that’s who I think could use him
Why adam Duvall is better and can actually field
Padres new LF
He’s all yours lol
Watch him do better lol has to be better the Profar i cringe when he bats
The best hitting OF that the Tribe has! . What a joke! I sure hope they have a deal for another OF in the works.
Huh? Did you forget about Tyler Naquin? Dudes batting over .300
Thank you!
I hope they at least bring Mercado back….or maybe Daniel Johnson.
He will be wearing a new uniform by the end of the week.
Awesome, my wish from last week was finally granted.
I’m not sad to see him go, that’s for sure. I am disappointed we haven’t acquired anyone that improves out chances this year.
Domingo is mashing…
