Look, this is the classic argument for why DM is dumb as ****. He makes a ton of smaller moves, all misguided, that in their totality are a real drain on the organization.

Regarding Santana, he's low-risk/high-reward. Is it perhaps unlikely that he lives up to his cost? Yes, but that's the nature of any FA acquisition, too. What's equally true, though, is that $13M for Santana should NOT prevent any other move that this team could make.

Yeah, we might hear bullshit excuses to the contrary: "Small market!"; "No money!" "Small peniseses!" But that's simply the Walmart way.
