Carlos Santana vs. Justin Turner: Which Veteran Should the Twins Choose?

[Doctor Wu]

I was pleasantly surprised by Santana's performance last year. Signing an ageing veteran always gives me pause but he more than held his own last season. I was one of those fans who was VERY skeptical when the Twins signed Nelson Cruz a few years back, and he proved me wrong too. And even though I wouldn't find having Santana hold down first base base, I think it's time to give Miranda, or someone younger than30, a shot at manning that position next season.

Gotta say, I don’t really love either of these options.

It’s probably naive, but I would love to trade for a big bat. Yandy Diaz would be so good here, but if he isn’t available, I would go to the giants and flip something to them for Lamonte Wade jr. He also is signed just through 2025 for only about 4 million, and he gets on base a lot (when he is healthy)

Ryan Mountcastle would be great fit too
