The Blue Jays keep missing out on potential free agents but it looks like they might finally land one in Santander according to recent reports that have the Blue Jays as the top team to land him.
The Blue Jays offer to Anthony Santander has officially been announced
The Blue Jays are in need of an outfielder and a solid hitter to help improve their offense for next season after a rough year in 2024 in which they only had Vladimir Guerrero Jr to rely on.
According to recent reports, the Blue Jays have officially offered Santander an $82 million contract over the next 4 years which will pay him an average salary of $20.5 million if he decides to sign.
I hearing Jays offer to Santander is 4/82.
If 4/82 is all it takes to land Anthony Santander then I take back everything I said. That's a real solid signing.
My fear was his deal would stretch into the 6 years range for around $130MM given his age. But if 4/82 is what gets it done then get it done immediately.
Fans seem to be very happy with this offer and believe that bringing in someone of Santander's caliber for $82 million seems like an extremely fair deal.
Reports suggest that Santander is quite pleased with the numbers in this deal and that the two parties are approaching closing the deal which could happen any day now.
Anthony Santander and the Blue Jays are reportedly close to a contract. #MLB #BlueJays
