Blue Jays Could Make Aggressive Play For Anthony Santander
55 seconds agoUSA TODAY's Bob Nightengale reports that the Toronto Blue Jays badly covet free-agent outfielder Anthony Santander and could overpay to get him. Toronto has been the American League's most underachieving team in recent years and haven't won a playoff game since 2016. They are heading into a critical 2025 season with president Mark Shapiro in the final year of his contract and with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette in their final seasons before reaching free agency. They would have to dramatically outbid the New York Mets for outfielder Juan Soto, and the same can probably be said for free-agent pitchers Corbin Burnes and Max Fried. Santander, who had a career year in 2024 with the Baltimore Orioles with 44 long balls and 102 RBI, would remain highly coveted in fantasy with a move to Toronto to stay in the AL East.
