Santander went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer in Tuesday's win over Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Santander broke the game open with a three-run blast off Spencer Schwellenbach in the fifth inning to put Toronto up 6-1. It was Santander's second long ball of the season and his first at home as a member of the Blue Jays. Though his average currently sits at just .211, Santander now has a hit in six straight games, including homers in two of his last four, and has struck out once over his last 17 at-bats.

Santander went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Santander had yet to record his first homer as a Blue Jay, but a return to Camden Yards proved to be what he needed to tick that achievement off his list. After grounding out in his first at-bat, Santander took a fastball from Tomoyuki Sugano deep to left-center field for a 409-foot solo home run. Santander has gone 8-for-39 with three runs scored, five walks, one home run, two RBI and 11 strikeouts over his last 10 games.

Santander went 2-for-4 with a walk and a run scored in Friday's win over the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

A first-inning single off Charlie Morton gave Santander his first hit with Toronto, and he added another as part of a five-run fourth inning for the Blue Jays. The 30-year-old slugger hasn't produced an extra-base hit yet in 2025, but those should come soon enough -- he banged out at least 70 in each of the last two seasons for the O's, including a career-high 44 homers in 2024.

Santander went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran slugger got hold of a Carson Fulmer fastball in the sixth inning and crushed it over the right-field fence. It was Santander's first long ball of the spring, and after racking up a career-high 44 homers and 102 RBI for the O's in 2024, the free-agent signing is being counted on to supply big power numbers this season from the heart of the Blue Jays' order.

Manager John Schneider said Wednesday that Santander has been away from Blue Jays camp while tending to visa issues, but Santander is expected to make his Grapefruit League debut Friday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Santander had reported to camp previously but then had to leave to sort some things out. He will go through a full workout Thursday before playing Friday against the Yankees. Santander signed a five-year, $92.5 million contract with Toronto in January.

The Blue Jays have agreed to a five-year, $92.5 million contract with Santander, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

The deal includes an opt-out after 2027 season that can be voided if a 2030 club option is exercised. If the latter occurs, the total value of the contract would reach $110 million. It's a much-needed "win" for Toronto, as it has been in the running to sign numerous big free agents the last couple years but routinely has come up short. Santander is coming off a 2024 season which saw him slash .235/.308/.506 with 44 home runs, 91 runs and 102 RBI in 155 regular-season games with the Orioles. He will likely see plenty of starts both in left field and in the designated hitter slot.

Santander rejected the Orioles' $21.05 million qualifying offer Tuesday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

This move was expected, as this is the 30-year-old Santander's one chance to get a big long-term deal. The switch hitter slashed .235/.308/.506 with 44 home runs, 91 runs and 102 RBI in 155 games last season for Baltimore and he has 105 homers in 460 games over the past three seasons. If he signs elsewhere, Baltimore will receive a draft pick.

The Orioles extended Santander a $21.05 million qualifying offer Monday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rill relays that while Santander is unlikely to accept the offer, it allows the Orioles to receive draft compensation if the 30-year-old outfielder signs with another team. Santander appeared in 155 regular-season games for the Orioles in 2024 and finished with a slash line of .235/.308/.506 with 44 home runs and 102 RBI over 665 plate appearances.

Santander is absent from Sunday's lineup against Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

Santander will rest for the regular-season finale after going 2-for-9 with one RBI over his last two outings. Unless he pinch hits Sunday, he'll end the 2024 regular season slashing .235/.308/.506 with 44 home runs and 102 RBI over 665 plate appearances. The Orioles will start Colton Cowser, Cedric Mullins and Ryan O'Hearn in the outfield.

Santander went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Santander had one of three homers in the game that helped lift the Orioles to a playoff-clinching win. The outfielder has gone just 9-for-47 (.191) over his last 13 games, but five of those hits have been homers, and he's added nine walks in that span. For the season, he's up to a .235/.309/.512 slash line with 44 homers, 100 RBI, 90 runs scored and two stolen bases across 151 contests.
