Fan Post Friday: What would you get for Carlos Santana in a deadline trade?

It is the official editorial opinion of Let’s Go Tribe that Carlos Santana is a good baseball player. I do not have the authority to make official editorial statements, but I don’t think this one is going to get rescinded.

However, it is Carlos’s contract year. Depending on where the Indians are at the trade deadline, it might make sense to shop Santana to see what kind of return the Indians can get. Ideally, he’d accept a massive paycut in the offseason to come back and play for the 2017 World Series champions.

Idealism rarely pans out.

For our first in a continuing series of hypothetical scenarios, I turn to you, reader. Head over to the fanposts and write a response to tell us the following:

What is the best trade you think the Indians can make involving Carlos Santana?

Again, nobody outside of the Cleveland.com comments section wants this, but it is good to prepare for disaster.

Obligatory Carlossian picture.
