Team source: Blue Jays agree to terms on deal with slugger Anthony Santander

Jan 20, 2025 | 12:21 PM

TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays are adding a big-name free-agent slugger to their lineup.

A team source tells The Canadian Press the club has agreed to terms with Anthony Santander on a contract and a physical has been completed.

The Blue Jays have yet to issue a release on the signing, but ESPN reports it’s a five-year contract worth over US$90 million.

Santander hit 44 home runs and drove in 102 runs last season for the Baltimore Orioles.

The addition of the 30-year-old switch-hitter should provide a much-needed injection of power in the heart of the batting order.
