Dennis Santana, the former top prospect in the Los Angeles Dodgers organization, was designated for assignment by the New York Yankees. The Pittsburgh Pirates claimed the 28-year-old right-handed reliever off waivers on Monday.
Santana has had a turbulent start to his Major League career, as his recent performance against the Dodgers showcased. After climbing the ranks and becoming a top prospect, his statistics in New York were underwhelming, leading to his DFA.
Originally signed as an international free agent by the Dodgers in 2013, Santana made his debut in 2018 and had a rocky but memorable start, recording a win in relief despite giving up five runs in a single appearance.
