Anthony Santander Expresses Excitement About Joining the Toronto Blue Jays for $92.5 Million
In a highly anticipated move, outfielder Anthony Santander has signed a massive contract with the Toronto Blue Jays worth $92.5 million. The 29-year-old, known for his power at the plate and strong arm in the outfield, has expressed his enthusiasm about joining one of the most promising teams in Major League Baseball.
“I’m happy for this opportunity,” Santander said in his introductory press conference. “The Blue Jays have a talented roster, and I’m excited to contribute to the team’s success. The fans here are incredible, and I can’t wait to get started.”
Santander, who spent the previous seasons with the Baltimore Orioles, has been a standout player in the American League. He is coming off a career-best performance in 2024, where he hit 30 home runs and drove in 95 RBIs. His addition to the Blue Jays bolsters an already formidable lineup, which includes stars like Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette.
Toronto’s front office was quick to praise Santander’s potential. “Anthony is exactly the type of player we want in this organization. He’s a proven hitter with a great work ethic, and we believe he will help elevate our offense to new heights,” said Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins.
The contract, which is structured over five years, is expected to significantly strengthen the Blue Jays’ playoff aspirations. Santander’s blend of power, consistency, and defensive ability adds depth to a team that has already shown its potential to compete for a World Series title in the coming seasons.
With the 2025 season fast approaching, Toronto fans are eager to see what Santander will bring to the field, as the Blue Jays aim to build on their success and make a deep postseason run.
