Braves Bring In Veteran Santana

The Braves just added veteran power hitter Carlos Santana on a minor league deal, hoping his elite on-base skills and clutch hitting—especially against lefties—can give them a boost as they tighten their grip on the NL East race. At 40, Santana brings experience and a MLB-leading 1,300+ walks, though he’s not expected to start at first base. He’ll begin with Triple-A Gwinnett, and while his fielding role is minimal, his bat could be a game-changer in key moments. With the playoffs in sight, Atlanta’s move signals a strategic push to stay ahead of the Phillies and Marlins. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
