"MLB will always lose some aging foreign-born players wanting to return home; if they are starting to lose mid-career sluggers with down years as well,"
Isn't this kind of the plot of the 1992 movie "Mr. Baseball"?

I suspect the problem with Santana is that it wasn't just a bad year ... he fell off a cliff mid season 2019, posting a .551 OPS from July on ... which is why he had to take over a 30% pay cut to sign with Cleveland last winter (pre-Covid).
I don't think it's a matter of the FA market being "unhealthy", as much as MLB teams increasingly relying on analysts who look at a Santana and say "the guy has almost 2000 career PAs, he's 28, he's a defensive liability, and he has a career total 3.3 WAR. Why have him plugging up our developmental chain?"

Robert Arthur today at The Athletic:
... This year alone, two of MLB’s top 100 (free agents) will have signed with NPB: along with the 11th-ranked Tanaka, 89th-ranked Domingo Santana will be the other one. Santana has no apparent connections to the country. While there are legitimate concerns about Santana, projections did peg him as at or slightly above replacement level with a recent history of being a decent hitter. Especially if the DH does come to both leagues, plenty of teams might regret not taking a flier on Santana. MLB will always lose some aging foreign-born players wanting to return home; if they are starting to lose mid-career sluggers with down years as well, the free agent market may be even less healthy than it appears.
