One of the more quiet well-known names available in free agency this season is Ervin Santana. He pitched for the Braves last season after signing a one-year deal late in the offseason, as there were no long-term options that he liked. In 2014, Santana was 14-10 with an ERA of 3.95, which was a noticeable jump up from 2012 with the Royals.
Santana will likely only be targeted if the Yankees go after and miss on some of the big fishes, but he would be a solid middle rotation pitcher behind Tanaka and Pineda.
