It’s been a hot minute since Carlos Santana played for the Indians, yet it seems like he never left.
From a catcher, to a third baseman (lol), to a first baseman, to a designated hitter, back to a first baseman again, Santana has been all around the Indians, but he’s been an Indian through and through. Until he wasn’t.
The patient slugger took a year off from the Tribe when the Philadelphia Phillies outbid his former team last offseason. There were reports that the Indians tried pretty hard to bring back their most prolific home run hitter of the last decade, but he eventually signed with Philadelphia on a three-year, $60 million deal.
