Introduction
After striking out on several marquee names, the Toronto Blue Jays were finally able to make a splash in free agency on Monday, signing former Baltimore Orioles slugger Anthony Santander to a five-year, $92.5 million contract.
Santander, who hit a career-high 44 home runs last season, brings much-needed power to a Jays team that ranked 26th in the majors in that department.
Looking ahead to the 2025 campaign, here’s a potential preview of Toronto’s lineup with the 30-year-old outfielder/DH in the fold.
