The 28-year-old Santiago has been one of the only semi-bright spots for a decimated Angels pitching staff this season. He holds a record of 8-4 with a 4.32 ERA, a 1.29 WHIP, and 96 strikeouts in 20 starts.

Santiago made the All-Star team in 2015 and is an underrated rotation arm with a solid array of off-speed pitches. He does tend to struggle with control and consistency at times, however. Santiago is making $5 million this season and will be eligible for arbitration in 2017.

With the Angels in the midst of a lost season, they may look to move Santiago while they can still get something of value for him.
