It seems like the Blue Jays are doubling down on their efforts to contend, even in the face of challenges securing top free agents and uncertainty surrounding Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s future. Signing Anthony Santander sends a clear message that they’re not ready to hit the reset button yet. However, Guerrero’s contract situation looms large over the season.
If they don’t perform well leading up to the trade deadline, it’s possible Guerrero could be moved for a significant return to avoid losing him in free agency. On the other hand, a strong start might push them to make even more aggressive moves to bolster their roster.
Do you think Santander’s addition will help shift the Blue Jays into a serious contender, or will they still fall short compared to the other AL powerhouses?
