MLB player prop bets and odds for Carlos Santana on Friday, May 23, 2025, as the Cleveland Guardians take on the Detroit Tigers.

The Cleveland Guardians decided to trade first baseman Josh Naylor back in the offseason. They weren’t going to extend him and decided to get something in return for him. To replace him, Cleveland went out and signed an old friend with a long track record of success in the city: Carlos Santana.

The most entertaining moment of Santana’s Target Field visit might have been his first at-bat of the suspended game. After attempting a bunt against Minnesota starter Joe Ryan, the two exchanged words and smiles. Moments later, Santana delivered his home run, prompting Ryan to drop his glove and applaud the veteran’s prowess.
