Toronto Blue Jays pitched voted as one of the worst contracts in the MLB
The Toronto Blue Jays have a few rough contract currently but it looks like Anthony Santander is not even the worst one of their payroll according to recent reports.
Earlier this season, Santander and Scherzer were voted as two of the worst contract in the MLB since they both were not playing due to injuries and still getting paid.
Blue Jays pitched Chad Green voted as the team's worst contract
Santander has been an awful signing so far as he has been injured for the majority of the season and has struggled quite a bit in the game that he has actually played in.
Despite that, Santander is apparently not the worst deal on the roster as Chad Green was voted as the worst deal the Blue Jays have since they are paying him not play and on top of that he is technically making more than Santander.
"However, in the case for Green, he had been healthy and ready for the Blue Jays right from the start of the season. Unfortunately, he ended up putting up the worst numbers of his 10-year MLB career. In 45 relief appearances, Green sported a dismal 5.56 ERA, 1.47 WHIP, while giving up hard contact, leading to 27 earned runs including 14 home runs in just 43 2/3 innings of work." -Eng
Green was not very good for the Blue Jays which is why he was released by Toronto and remains without a contract but also made more money than Santander this season.
Santander made less than Green this season since a lot of his $92.5 million contract is deferred money and backloaded so he only actually made $9.1 million this season.
"More importantly, as Reuter pointed out, despite signing a five-year, $92.5 million contract with Toronto this past winter, a lot of that salary was deferred money and backloaded, as he actually earns only $9.1 million this season." -Eng
While Santander is only making $9.1 million this year and still on the roster, Green was paid $10.5 million to sit at home.
"With most other Blue Jays providing some form of value to the team, especially for those earning greater than $10.5 million in 2025, it ultimately makes Green the Jays' worst investment this year." -Eng
While arguments can be made for both contract being very bad, at least Santander is still on the roster.
