Easley met with Santiago and Infante on Sunday morning and told them this was the opportunity they had been waiting for and that he would help them any way he could.
“I was in a similar situation with the Angels,” Easley said. “They said they wanted a new look and put me at second base in place of Harold Reynolds, who had been around like 12 years. I was just a young kid, and that man took me everywhere and watched out for me.
“I learned from that. It’s what you mean by giving back to the game.”
