Diamondbacks’ Carlos Santana: Reaches deal with Arizona
Rotowire
Feb 3, 2026
Santana agreed to a one-year, $2 million contract with the Diamondbacks on Tuesday, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.
The 39-year-old split the 2025 campaign between the Cubs and Guardians, finishing the regular season with 11 home runs, seven steals and a .219/.308/.325 slash line in 124 games. Santana was cut loose by Cleveland in late August before being picked up by Chicago, but he played just eight games with the Cubs before he accepted being optioned to the Arizona Complex League in late September. The veteran first baseman should fill the small side of a platoon with Pavin Smith in Arizona, with Santana’s ability as a switch hitter providing a path to more at-bats than a traditional platoon player.

Cubs’ Carlos Santana: Catches on with Cubs
Rotowire
Aug 31, 2025
Santana agreed to a one-year deal with the Cubs on Sunday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Santana won’t join the Cubs ahead of Sunday’s game in Colorado, but he’s expected to be activated prior to Monday’s home game versus Atlanta. The 39-year-old switch hitter was cut loose by the Guardians on Thursday after he had produced a career-worst .649 OPS with 11 home runs and seven stolen bases across 455 plate appearances. The Cubs won’t have regular playing time available for Santana, but he could prove to be an upgrade over Justin Turner (.598 OPS in 166 plate appearances) as the short-side platoon mate at first base for the left-handed-hitting Michael Busch.
