The Cleveland Indians have yet to confirm it, but two sources, including Cleveland.com’s Paul Hoynes, have reported that Domingo Santana is set to sign with the Tribe. The 27-year-old, right-handed outfielder has spent parts of six seasons with the Houston Astros, Milwaukee Brewers, and Seattle Mariners.
Seattle non-tendered Santana in December, and he has been waiting on a job offer ever since. The deal he and the Indians have reportedly agreed upon is somewhere in the $1 million range. If he is indeed headed to Cleveland, he represents an extremely low-risk acquisition with the potential to reward the club significantly.
