Luis Santos can pitch in the majors

When the Rays announced five additions to their spring training roster, I headed over to FanGraphs and Texas Leaguers to see who these new guys were and what they had. One name jumped off the graph, and it was probably the one I least expected: Luis Santos.

You might remember Santos’ brief stint as a Blue Jays reliever, you might not. He wasn’t much ballyhooed when he came up, and he wasn’t able to stick in 2017 or 2018 with our rivals in Toronto.

But despite being acquired for practically nothing (on a minor league contract with an invitation to major league camp), Santos makes this organization better, and the Rays coaches and staff will be taking a good long look at him this Spring.
