I don’t believe it was discussed yesterday, but Phillip Wellnan is on Greensboro’s staff. If you don’t know who he is, search him on YouTube. You’re welcome.
Winning in Arb is sometimes akin to losing, depending upon how the pitcher accepts the loss. Cannot blame him for trying to cash in on an excellent and very successful stint with the Pirates after ugly years with the Rangers in 2022, Mets in 2023, and Yankees in part of 2024 where his ERA was 6.26 in 23 games. With the Pirates he pitched in 39 games with a 2.44 ERA.
He maintains that type of consistent excellence in 2025 and THEN he can hit the pay line.
Santana is a guy that it wouldn't surprise me if stepped in and became a good closer this year. It also wouldn't surprise me if struggled. I am glad we have him, but we picked him up off waivers mid-season. I think asking for over 2 million might have been a stretch.
