This is great news for the Blue Jays as their last signing with pitcher Jeff Hoffman came back with some issues as his physical apparently showed that he has issues in his shoulder.
The full details on Santander's contract is a $92.5 million contract over five years which also includes a club option for the sixth season also with an opt out after the third year.
Santander deal with Blue Jays, per source: Five years, $92.5M with club option for sixth season. Can opt out after third year. Team can void opt out and make deal six years, $110M at that point.

The majority of Blue Jays fans believe that this was a great deal as they were able to land an incredible hitter for next few years at a decently cheap price as he will be making less than George Springer.
Was this deal for Anthony Santander an overpay?
