It is now clear that the Guardians should not have signed Carlos Santana, and they should attempt to trade him as soon as possible.
I want to begin this article by making clear that this article is not an attack on Carlos Santana who is one of my all-time favorite Cleveland baseball players. It’s also not even an attack on his play; as a 39 year-old first baseman he has a 108 wRC+, 4 Outs Above Average and 3 Defensive Runs Saved. This is simply me facing the reality of what the Guardians are trying to do as a franchise.
