Blue Jays Offer Anthony Santander $82 Million Deal

The Houston Astros, coming off a strong 2024 season but shocked by a playoff sweep, are looking to fill gaps in their roster, particularly in right field after trading Kyle Tucker. They are targeting outfielder Anthony Santander, who had a stellar season with the Baltimore Orioles, hitting 44 home runs and driving in 102 runs. However, sources indicate that the Astros may not be willing to meet Santander's financial demands, as he seeks a long-term deal exceeding $100 million. Meanwhile, the Toronto Blue Jays have made an $82 million offer over four years to Santander, but he is reportedly holding out for a higher contract, potentially complicating the negotiations. The Mariners have remained inactive this offseason despite the active movements of their competitors in the American League West. As Santander’s market heats up, his future team remains uncertain, with multiple franchises vying for his services.
