They tell you to chase your dreams, and Johan Santana isn’t letting go of his hope to pitch in the majors again. According to MLB Network’s Jon Heyman, Santana, who is currently a free agent, hopes to return to the mound sometime during …
Johan Santana’s baseball career is not over yet. Despite undergoing surgery to repair a torn capsule in his shoulder twice — he missed all of 2011 and 2013 as he recovered — Santana is continuing his career. The Blue Jays announced …
Johan Santana is attempting a pitching comeback after undergoing a second shoulder surgery to repair a torn capsule, but it sounds like he’s a long ways away from being big-league ready. Santana threw for MLB teams at a Fort Meyers high school …
Johan Santana threw the first no-hitter in New York Mets history last season, but he struggled mightily after that and finished the season 6-9 with a 4.85 ERA. Santana was bouncing back from shoulder surgery and finished the season on the disabled …
Johan Santana threw the first no-hitter in Mets franchise history on Friday in an 8-0 win over the Cardinals. Santana threw 133 pitches and walked five batters, but he managed to no-hit the best offense in the National League. Although he …

Now that the whole A-Rod contract is kind of sorted out, and there’s nothing new on the Miggy front, I guess Johan Santana would be the top chip on the trading block. He’s a free agent at the end of the season, which puts new GM Bill …

Johan tossed a CGSO last night against the Mets, striking out an uncharacteristically low one batter, while throwing an economical 92 pitches. But getting the win for himself and the team wasn’t the only outcome at stake for Santana. There was …
