After a career season with the Baltimore Orioles in 2024, Anthony Santander is cashing in.
The 30-year-old outfielder has agreed to a deal with the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday, per New York Post‘s Jon Heyman and MLB Network’s Jon Morosi.
The move comes after the Blue Jays didn’t succeed in free-agent pitches for several other prominent players, including Roki Sasaki, Corbin Burnes and Juan Soto.
The Blue Jays are hoping Santander’s big bat helps a club that has star players Bo Bichette and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. entering their final year of club control. Toronto finished last in the AL East last year at 74-88.
In 155 games with Baltimore last season, Santander slashed .235/.308/.506 and clubbed a career-high 44 home runs.
Since he became a full-time player with the Orioles in 2022, Santander’s 105 homers trail only five players in the majors: Aaron Judge, Shohei Ohtani, Kyle Schwarber, Pete Alonso and Matt Olson.
Last season, the switch-hitting Venezuelan had a career-best fWAR of 3.3 and was named to his first MLB All-Star game.
