Inbox: Who's on first? Santana or Bauers?

With Spring Training officially under a month away, let's take a look at some of the questions that still surround the Indians heading into 2019 in the latest Inbox.

The Indians are planning to "blend" Carlos Santana and Jake Bauers at first base this season, but they haven't said who would get the majority of the starts. Spring Training will obviously help determine that, but my best guess is it will also depend on the rest of the team's offseason moves in the next few weeks.

As of now, it seems safe to assume that when Santana is at first base, Bauers will be penciled in as the designated hitter and vice versa.
