The Dodgers made a deal on Thursday morning that ended with a familiar face departing. Dennis Santana was sent off to the Texas Rangers in a deal that returner them a minor league arm.
This deal comes soon after Santana was designated for assignment by the Dodgers Thai past week. It ends an 8-year run with the team after Santana was signed as an international free agent by Los Angeles back in 2013 out of the Dominican Republic.
In exchange for Santana, the Dodgers acquired LHP Kelvin Bautista from the Rangers. Bautista is about to turn 22-years-old and has yet to play about rookie ball with the pandemic stopping the 2020 minor league season.
