Santana has slashed .235/.321/.412 with 12 homers and 53 RBIs (98 OPS+) across 94 games with the Pirates this season. A 14-year veteran, Santana’s career slash line is .242/.357/.431 with 290 homers (114 OPS+).
The addition of Santana will provide the Brewers with some depth, as first base has been an area of struggle for the Crew this season.
