Anthony Santander Joins Blue Jays with $92.5M Deal After Rejecting Orioles' Offer

The switch-hitting slugger cites a significant gap in contract offers as the reason for leaving Baltimore after eight seasons.

Anthony Santander signed a five-year, $92.5 million contract with the Toronto Blue Jays, including a sixth-year club option.
Santander rejected the Baltimore Orioles' three-year offer, describing it as 'not even close' to what he would accept.
The Venezuelan outfielder hit a career-high 44 home runs in 2024 and drove in 100 runs, making him a key acquisition for Toronto.
Santander's spring training with the Blue Jays began with visa issues but has since included promising performances, including a home run against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Santander expressed gratitude for his time in Baltimore but acknowledged the move was a business decision, with both sides understanding the financial realities.
