CLEVELAND -- While his teammates partied in the middle of the clubouse, Carlos Santana stood off to the side, sipping from his bottle of champagne in front of plastic-covered lockers. If this was going to be his last division-title celebration with the Indians, Santana wanted to take a minute to soak in the scene in front of him.
"I will never forget this moment," Santana said at the time. "The playoffs. The World Series last year. It was amazing. It was everything -- like a dream."
Santana does not want the dream to end, but after a decade spent in the Indians' organization, the first baseman has earned the right to test free agency.
