The Toronto Blue Jays have yet to take care of their holiday shopping, but that could change any day now.

After a last-place finish in the American League East, the Blue Jays have a lot of work to do this winter to get the franchise back on track. Homegrown All-Stars Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette will both be free agents after this season, so Toronto is approaching a crossroads.

If you want to keep your stars, you have to build a roster around them that’s worth sticking around to play with. And right now, the Blue Jays’ lineup is a strange mix between underperforming veterans and unproven young hitters, with Guerrero as the star in the middle.

How about adding a switch-hitting All-Star to ease some of the burden on the Blue Jays’ superstar?

On Thursday, Bleacher Report’s Zachary D. Rymer named the Blue Jays as the “best fit” for free-agent outfielder Anthony Santander, who clubbed a career-high 44 home runs in 2024 as a member of the rival Baltimore Orioles.

“The most notable clubs tied to Santander include the Yankees, Red Sox and the Blue Jays, who are the best fit because of how they lack left-handed power,” Rymer said.

“Toronto has gotten just 127 home runs from the left side over the last three seasons. That is the second-fewest in MLB, ranking ahead of only the White Sox.”

Though he had a paltry .307 on-base percentage in 2024, Santander still brings a lot to the table, especially for the Blue Jays. He’d be an ideal fit to hit behind Guerrero in the lineup, who has better contact and on-base skills, but doesn’t hit as many home runs.

Santander is projected for a five-year, $105 million deal by Tim Britton of The Athletic. That’s a steep financial commitment to a player with a few red flags, but it would more than pay off if Santander continues to challenge the 40-homer plateau season after season.
