Domingo Santana designated for assignment by Indians

The Indians needed to make room on their roster following the acquisition of seven players earlier today (three of which went straight to the 40-man roster), and they went with the big right-handed power-ish bat Domingo Santana.

Santana was signed by the Indians this offseason on a one-year, $1.5 million deal. He was coming off a 21-homer season with the Mariners and three years removed from hitting 30 in Milwaukee. Unfortunately, that power didn’t follow him to Cleveland, but his strikeout issues did. As a result, he likely finished his Indians career with a .157/.298/.286 slash and just two home runs in 84 PA.
