The Indians go to Yonder Alonso to fill the hole at first base left by the departure of Carlos Santana:
Free agent 1B Yonder Alonso in agreement with #Indians on two-year, $16M contract, sources tell The Athletic. Deal includes $8M vesting option for a third year. Agreement first reported by @BNightengale.

While Santana posted better number long term, Alonso posted a better 2017 season. They were very close in terms of OBP, but Alonso slugged at a higher rate. Alonso is also a year younger. If he can repeat his 2017 season, the Indians get a nice replacement for under half the cost per season.
