Guardians fans know Santana well from his time with Cleveland 2010-2017 and then from 2019-2020 during which time he put up 21.5 fWAR with a 123 wRC+. Last year, as a 38 year-old, Santana played for the dastardly Twins and put up 3 fWAR, won a gold glove at first base and put up a 113 wRC+ (161 wRC+ vs LHP, 96 wRC+ vs RHP).
