Please point out the Free Agent who is similar to Santana and available for $5-6 million on a one-year deal.

Who is age 30 or less.
Who was two seasons in the past three that are as good as Santana last year.

Santana has been better than Jeremy Guthrie over the past 5 years, and he's younger, and he has more upside... and Guthrie is fishing for 3 years/$30 million.

No one of Santana's pedigree is signing a one-year deal for $6 million.

Also: If Santana pitches WELL this year, there is potential for him to get a qualifying offer from KC and either return on a one-year deal or garner a compensatory draft pick.
