The Cleveland Guardians ' front office has been busy over the last few weeks. Their latest move is officially complete, as the team announced on Monday evening that they had signed veteran 1B/DH Carlos Santana to a one-year deal for the 2025 season.

Even after leaving Cleveland, Carlos Santana remained a fan favorite and was warmly welcomed back as a visitor. He's home again. Santana signed a one-year, $12 million contract and returned Monday for his third stint with the Guardians,

He made his big league debut in 2010 as a catcher. Santana’s first stay in Cleveland lasted from 2010 to 2017 until he became a free agent and signed with the Phillies. Santana’s second stay ran from 2019 through 2020 and now he’s back again after hitting 23 homers and winning a Gold Glove for his play at first base with the Twins.

The Houston Astros are presumably losing a Gold Glove third baseman in Alex Bregman, but the Gold Glove addition at the other corner infield spot had a message for his new teammates around the infield: I’ve got your back.

With the signing of Walker, the Astros are solid and first and third base, meaning Bregman will likely not be back.

The Astros welcomed first baseman Christian Walker to the team in one of two moves that almost certainly marks the end of Alex Bregman’s time in Houston
