After not playing for Cleveland since the 2020 season, Carlos Santana, who is nearing age 39 in April, thought his time playing in the Ohio city was long over.
He had purchased a house in Cleveland in 2012, the first one he bought in the United State after coming from the Dominican Republic in 2010 when he was originally signed by Cleveland. He played his first eight MLB seasons with the now Cleveland Guardians. The city always held a special place in his heart as his professional career began there and all his kids were born there.
