But one former Seattle Mariners is still out of work and there has been next to no buzz surrounding him all winter. Domingo Santana, whom the Mariners non-tendered in November of 2019, still hasn’t found a team.
Obviously, Santana is a flawed player, so it shouldn’t come as a shock that he didn’t find a new home quickly. However, Santana is just 27-year-olds, coming off a season in which he hit 21 home runs, posted a .253/.329/.441 slash line, and ran the bases well.
Defensively, he was historically bad. But historically speaking, it was a major outlier.
