Santa, Santana what’s the difference? Well Santa delivers gifts while slugging first basemen Carlos Santana was a gift. But who wants a gift to just be given away during the year. Last season alone we saw something possibly similar to this when the Phillies acquired household names like Howie Kendrick, Pat Neshek and Michael Saunders, all to just give them away by the trade deadline.
While Santana has a lot more star power than any of those players, I don’t think anyone would be completely and utterly blown away if Santana was given away for some prospects if the team is under performing. Hopefully that doesn’t happen and Santana is still in red pinstripes come 2019.
