Dennis Santana Remains with Pirates After Successful First Four Months

Relief pitcher Dennis Santana was not traded by the Pittsburgh Pirates at the deadline, despite his successful first four months of the season where he posted a 1.36 ERA with 38 strikeouts and 10 walks over 46 1/3 innings. The Pirates opted to retain him due to his affordability in arbitration next year, making him a top reliever target on the waiver wire post-deadline.
