Pittsburgh Pirates: Options to Come Off 40-Man Roster for Carlos Santana
Pittsburgh Pirates signed Carlos Santana to a one-year deal on Friday night. The team's 40-man roster is full, so they will need to make a roster move. Today we take a look at some options to come off the 40 man roster for Santana.
Pittsburgh Pirates signed veteran first baseman Carlos Santana to a one-year deal. The team's 40-man roster is full, so they need to make a roster move. There are many options to come off the 40 to clear space for Santana. The question is what the dynamic at first base will look like in 2023. It's unlikely Lewin Diaz will be DFA'd recently. Travis Swaggerty and Ryan Vilade are unlikely to be. They were claimed off waivers earlier this offseason. If I had to bet on who will come from the roster to take Santana, I'd take Viladere.
