Santana returned to the American League Central in his seventh jersey.
The Minnesota Twins officially announced their contract with first baseman Carlos Santana on Feb. 8 (KST). The contract is said to be guaranteed for one year and $5.25 million.
The deal is Santana's 15th season in the Major League Baseball. Minnesota is Santana's seventh major league team.
Santana, a right-handed first baseman from the Dominican Republic, made his big league debut with the Cleveland Indians (now the Guardians) in 2010. Although his debut was in Cleveland, Santana was actually a native of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Having joined the Dodgers in the summer of 2004, Santana played for the Dodgers until the summer of 2008 before moving to Cleveland in a trade.
Originally a catcher, Santana did not grow fast. He graduated from Single A not until 2007, and made his first Double A appearance after being traded in 2008. However, his skills started to grow rapidly in 2008, and he was considered a Top 100 prospect in 2009. He was considered one of the top 10 prospects overall ahead of the 2010 season, and made his big league debut in 2010.
Santana, who had a long career as a minor leaguer but made a leap forward in 2008, has shown stable performance since then. In his debut season, he batted .260/.401/.467 with six homers and 22 RBIs in 46 games, and in the 2011 season, he played as a catcher and first baseman, batting .239/.351/.457 with 27 homers and 79 RBIs in 155 games. Despite some ups and downs, he steadily maintained batting productivity above the league average, and from the 2014 season, he started focusing on first base rather than catcher, leaving a regret in terms of defense as well.
Santana, who played as a starting first baseman for Cleveland's starting catcher, stayed with Cleveland until the 2017 season, batting .249/.365/.445 with 174 home runs and 587 RBIs in 1,116 games. Santana, who became a free agent after the 2017 season, signed with the Philadelphia Phillies but returned to Cleveland a year later in a winter trade in 2018. Playing for Cleveland through the 2020 season, Santana continued his career with the Kansas City Royals, Seattle Mariners, Pittsburgh Pirates, and Milwaukee Brewers. Playing for six teams in his 14 career big league seasons, Santana batted .242/.356/.432, 301 home runs and 1,011 RBIs in 1,930 career games.
Santana has deep ties to the American League Central. He spent 10 years of his 14-year career playing for his de facto hometown of Cleveland, followed by two seasons (2021-2022) in Kansas City, also in the Central Division. He spent 1,544 games, or 80 percent of his 1,930 career games, with Cleveland and Kansas City. This time, he wore the Minnesota Twins uniform for the Central Division.
Santana's strengths are its long-range slugging and running ability. Though he is not a slugger with more than 40 home runs, he has the ability to hit more than 20 home runs and around 30 doubles. And he has an excellent eye for balls, with 1,213 walks while striking out 1,350 in his career. He led the league twice with walks, and led the majors with 113 walks in 2014. He ranks 60th all-time with 1,213 walks in his career and second on active duty behind Joey Votto (1,365). Manager Terry Francona, who highly valued Santana's outstanding on-base ability, hired Santana as the leadoff hitter for the 2016-2017 season despite his lack of base running ability, operational ability, and precision.
