During the Hot Stove, crazy trade ideas and free agency rumors are everywhere, and there’s often no way of knowing which ones have some degree of truth to them and which ones are attempts by agents to generate interest in their clients.
Which brings us to one of the more interesting rumors about the Phillies that has been floating around the Googleweb over the weekend.
Carlos Santana? The free agent first baseman/designated hitter formerly of the Cleveland Indians who will turn 32 years old next year? Seriously?
There’s no doubt that Santana is a productive offensive player who does a couple things the Phillies like: hits for some power and has outstanding plate discipline.
