The\u00a0New York Yankees\u00a0have filled their void at first base.<\/p>\n

Although the Yankees wound up signing 2022 NL MVP winner Paul Goldschmidt to a one-year, $12.5 million deal, they were also \u201cin the mix\u201d for Carlos Santana, according to\u00a0Ken Rosenthal of\u00a0The Athletic<\/em>.<\/p>\n

But Santana ultimately chose to go back to the Cleveland Guardians, where he spent the first eight seasons of his career (2010-2017) as well as a second stint in 2019-2020. Cleveland brought back Santana on a one-year, $12 million deal and traded first baseman Josh Naylor to the Arizona Diamondbacks on the same day.<\/p>\n

Despite turning 39-years-old next April, Santana is still a productive player and had heavy interest from a number of teams beyond the Yankees.<\/p>\n

\u201cSantana said both\u00a0New York\u00a0teams,\u00a0Detroit\u00a0and\u00a0Arizona\u00a0also were in the mix, while\u00a0San Diego\u00a0andTexas\u00a0had asked him to wait,\u201d Rosenthal wrote.<\/p>\n

Santana played in 150 games for the Minnesota Twins last season, slashing .238\/.328\/.420 with a .749 OPS, 23 home runs and 71 RBI. He also won the first Gold Glove Award of his career in 2024.<\/p>\n

Santana may have been a better fit for the Yankees given he is a switch-hitter, but it was abundantly clear that he wanted to return to Cleveland.<\/p>\n

Per Rosenthal, Santana turned down a one-year deal with a player option that would have reunited him with the Seattle Mariners, where he played 79 games in 2022.<\/p>\n

Santana would\u2019ve been a solid option for the Yankees, but Goldschmidt is one year younger and had a strong second-half last season. He was also red-hot in his final 30 games, hitting .330 with a .920 OPS.<\/p>\n

The Yankees now have a better chance at acquiring third baseman Nolan Arenado, who would need to waive his no-trade clause, due to the close relationship he and Goldschmidt had in St. Louis.<\/p>\n

The Yankees were looking for a stopgap option at first base and instead of Santana they got Goldschmidt.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
