Atlanta Braves castoff Carlos Santana, aged 40, has indicated his intention to continue playing professional baseball. After a brief stint with the Arizona Diamondbacks that resulted in his release by the Braves in August of this year, Santana is seeking new opportunities.
Santana's career spans 17 seasons, marked by 335 home runs and 1,882 hits, earning him an All-Star selection in 2019, as well as a Gold Glove and Silver Slugger award. His previous contract was a one-year, $2 million deal with the Diamondbacks.
Given his age and recent performance, the veteran slugger may need to consider a minor league contract to keep his playing career alive. This would represent a financial step back from his previous major league deal.
