Carlos Santana explores future in baseball after Braves release

Santana briefly played for the Braves after a short stint with the Arizona Diamondbacks. He faced challenges this season, appearing in only eight major league games and hitting.083. Santana, who has a lengthy history in the majors, may need to settle for a minor league deal as he looks to extend his playing days.
