The Mets are looking for a power bat that can play first base or a corner outfield position. One of the best available free agents that fits the bill just landed in the NL East, but not in Queens.

Carlos Santana, who has hit 57 homers in the past two seasons for the Indians, signed a three-year, $60 million contract Friday with the Phillies, FanRag Sports reported. Santana, who will be 32 in April, slashed .249/.365/.445 in eight seasons with the Indians.

The Mets had expressed interest in Santana in November when weighing options for a bat they could add to their lineup and a veteran they could put at first base in case Dominic Smith’s struggles continued. New Mets manager Mickey Callaway had also had experience with Santana while a pitching coach with the Indians.

Santana began his career as an elite catching prospect but has primarily been a first baseman the past four seasons. He’s also seen time at third base, right field and designated hitter.

The Phillies have not made the playoffs in six seasons and have been in the midst of a full-scale rebuild of late. They won 66 games last season, but have several talented young players and are expected to dramatically increase their payroll as they try to become NL East contenders again.

Where Santana fits into the Phillies’ strategy remains unclear. Tommy Joseph, 25, and Rhys Hoskins, 24, are both primarily first basemen and combined to hit 40 home runs last season. Hoskins had 18 in just 212 at-bats, splitting time between first and the outfield.

After Santana’s signing, there was immediate speculation from multiple outlets that one of the Phillies’ young sluggers, such as corner outfielders Aaron Altherr (26 years old) or Nick Williams (23), could be on the trading block as the club looks to add pitching help.
