The Toronto Blue Jays have taken a lot of heat over the course of this offseason for failing to make a big move. Toronto missed out on big targets such as Roki Sasaki and Tanner Scott. Despite striking out on most of the top pitchers this offseason, the Blue Jays turned their attention to the other side and made a big splash.
Former Baltimore Orioles slugger Anthony Santander is heading to Toronto on a five-year, $92.5 million contract. He will add a powerful bat to the Blue Jays’ lineup next to Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and should help them improve immediately on offense. Despite the big addition, the Blue Jays may not be done adding big bats according to MLB insider Hector Gomez.
There has been a lot of buzz surrounding Alonso and the Blue Jays over the course of this free agency period, and now that seems to be heating up even more. There’s no question that one of the home run kings in the MLB would be a monster addition for Toronto if it were to land him. Alonso has crushed 226 home runs in six seasons in New York and has also been one of the most available players in baseball, playing at least 152 games in five of his six seasons.
