Blue Jays And Tigers Considered Top Suitors For Anthony Santander
2 days agoOutfielder Anthony Santander is one of the biggest bats remaining on the free agent market, and the top two suitors for the 30-year-old at this point are the Toronto Blue Jays and the Detroit Tigers, according to MLB Network's Jon Morosi. Both teams could definitely use a power bat in the middle of their lineup like Santander's as they look to contend in the American League. Santander is coming off a career-high 44 home runs and 102 RBI last year for the Orioles while hitting .235 with a .345 wOBA and 129 wRC+. Santander has at least 28 homers in each of the last three years for the O's and would fit into the middle of either Detroit's or Toronto's lineup. The Tigers made a surprise playoff run last year while the Blue Jays had a disappointing season in a stacked AL East. Both will look to be in the playoff chase again this year but need to add some thump to their lineup like Santander. From an individual perspective, the Park Factor in Toronto would give Santander much more power potential than the cavernous environs of Comerica Park.
