Reports: Diamondbacks Signing Veteran 1b Carlos Santana
- On Tuesday, the Arizona Diamondbacks agreed to a $2 million, one-year contract with first baseman/designated hitter Carlos Santana, pending a physical, a person told The Associated Press.
- Facing a first-base shortage this offseason, Arizona Diamondbacks left Pavin Smith and Tyler Locklear atop the depth chart after losing Josh Naylor, but both carry question marks.
- Over 16 big-league seasons, Santana has 335 home runs, a 39.3 bWAR, and a.777 OPS, last hitting.219 with 11 homers and a.633 OPS.
- Manager Torey Lovullo, entering his 10th season, seeks immediate improvement as Arizona went 80-82 last year, adding Santana for short-term help.
- Santana, a switch-hitter, has historically hit better versus left-handed pitching and can serve as a right-side platoon option for the Arizona Diamondbacks despite his career decline in recent years.
