It is really sad to see how far he has fallen due to injuries because he was nothing short of dominant as a twinkie. I hope he looks more like the Johan of old this year.

He needs to win the Cy Young Award.

wins Cy Young award from 2008-13 and finishes second or third in the Cy Young vote in one other season
ranks second or third in Cy Young vote in any 3 seasons, 2008-13
is on the active roster for the final 30 days of 2013 season, and:
pitches 215 innings in 2013, or
pitches 420 innings in 2012-13, or
pitches 630 innings in 2011-13
Santana finished 3rd in the Cy Young voting in 2008, so he would have to win the award in 2013 or pitch 215 innings. Extremely unlikely.

It’s been five years since he had a full season’s worth of starts.

Instead he’s had five years with full season’s worth of stops!

I mean no way they pick up his $25 mil option, and no way he hits the benchmarks to make it a player option right?
