There's almost no risk. Almost no chance that he adds any significant value to the team, though.

Only true if he's not healthy

Even if he performed relatively well, it still doesn't really do much for this year's team.

LOL, like they are going rush minor leaguers this year when they again have 1% chance to compete for the playoffs. Not that I'm complaining about the rebuild - I'm not.

Santana is a warm body.

If you look historically including us, this is exactly what teams do and causes more harm than good.

Even if that's the case, and I don' think it is, who cares if it's Santana or some other warm body who won't be here in a couple years? No risk, low reward. I'm not against the move per se, just doesn't really matter.

Best case scenario

Play well, get traded for a decent prospect (or better if lucky)
