After a long and frustrating journey that no one could have seen coming this season, the Pirates have moved on from their former closer.
Pittsburgh officially designated right-handed pitcher Dennis Santana for ****** ignment on Thursday, cutting ties with the polarizing reliever.
The Bucs acquired reliever Ron Marinaccio from the San Diego Padres in exchange for International Signing Bonus Pool Money and cut ties with Santana to clear room on the 40-man roster.
Santana could clear waivers and return to the organization to pitch in Triple-A Indianapolis.
Santana entered the season as the reliever many thought the Pirates could rely on the most following a 2.18 ERA and 16 saves in 70 appearances last year.
