Phillies are ‘shopping the hell’ out of Carlos Santana, which the Tigers could exploit

We haven’t heard much yet in the way of free agent rumors — first commenter to say the words “Harper’s Bazaar” gets banned — but Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic dropped a doozy on us early Monday morning. The Philadelphia Phillies have reportedly been “shopping the hell” out of first baseman Carlos Santana.

Detroit Tigers fans may recognize Santana as “that guy who used to hit all those dingers off Justin Verlander,” and, well, you aren’t wrong. Santana spent eight seasons with the Cleveland Indians before signing with the Phillies as a free agent last winter, and the Phils are already looking to move on from the 32-year-old Dominican slugger.
