One former Philadelphia Phillie is out in Kansas City, but another is coming in.
Just days after the Royals non-tendered Maikel Franco, Jon Heyman of RADIO.COM Sports says that Kansas City has agreed to a two-year deal with former Phillies first baseman Carlos Santana. Joel Sherman of The New York Post says that the deal’s total value is $17.5 million, with $1 million in incentives.
Santana actually just completed the three-year/$60 million free-agent deal that he signed with the Phillies prior to the 2018 season.
