Blue Jays Sign Anthony Santander to Five-Year, $92.5 Million Deal

The former Orioles slugger brings power and versatility to Toronto's lineup as the team eyes further offseason moves.

• Anthony Santander, a 2024 All-Star, signed a five-year contract with the Toronto Blue Jays worth $92.5 million, with potential escalators increasing the value to $110 million.
• The deal includes an opt-out clause after three years, which the team can override by exercising a sixth-year option.
• Santander hit a career-high 44 home runs last season and is expected to bolster a Blue Jays lineup that struggled offensively in 2024, finishing last in the AL East.
• Toronto remains active in the free-agent market, with reports suggesting ongoing interest in players like Pete Alonso and Jurickson Profar.
• The signing reflects the Blue Jays' commitment to competing in 2025, as they also navigate contract decisions regarding Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s potential free agency after the season.
