Do Not Forget About Edgar Santana This Spring

Last season, the Pittsburgh Pirates bullpen faced its fair share of struggles. A big reason for this is because the bullpen was without one of its top arms from the previous two seasons. The key arm they were missing was the right arm of Edgar Santana.

The 28-year-old Dominican native missed all of the 2019 season due to Tommy John Surgery. However, he is now healthy and ready to compete for a spot in the Pirate bullpen in 2020. If he truly is healthy this spring, then it is difficult to imagine him not being part of the Opening Day bullpen.
