Santana's agent, Ulises Cabrera, said Monday that his client wants to play for 3-to-4 more seasons, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports. It seems unlikely that Santana will be able to hang around that much longer, considering he'll turn 39 in April. However, he's coming off a strong 2024 season, having slashed .238/.328/.420 with 23 home runs over 150 games for the Twins while winning his first-ever Gold Glove at first base.

Santana went 3-for-4 on Sunday with a home run, two RBI and three runs scored against the Reds. Santana homered and doubled to finish just a triple shy of the cycle. The 15-year-vet's two-run blast in the seventh doubled the Twins' lead and served as the springboard to a five-run inning that sealed the game. Santana is now batting 8-for-18 (.444) with two homers, a double, six RBI and six runs scored during a modest five-game hitting streak.

Santana isn't in the Twins' lineup Saturday against Cincinnati. Santana has put together a nice four-game hitting streak, during which he's gone 5-for-14 with a homer and three RBI, but he'll take a seat Saturday against Nick Martinez and the Reds. Jose Miranda will start at first base and bat eighth.

Santana (illness) is starting at first base and batting in the leadoff spot in Monday's series opener against the Angels. Santana appears to be over the illness that forced him to exit Saturday's game against the Royals and sit for Sunday's series finale. Since the beginning of August, Santana has slashed .196/.304/.393 with six home runs and 12 RBI over 125 plate appearances.
