While Monday was a day of trades with a couple of significant pitchers changing uniforms via trade, Tuesday saw three major-league signings go down. The most significant, at least in terms of money, was with the Royals. They have been relatively aggressive so far this winter and continued that by signing Carlos Santana to a two-year deal worth $17.5 million.
Santana has long been one of the steadier first basemen in the league, typically below the top tier at his position but better than average nonetheless. The veteran struggled mightily in the shortened 2020 campaign, though, finishing the year with a 91 OPS+.
