News just broke Monday that the Blue Jays have agreed to terms on a contract with Santander but the exact number of the deal has yet to be confirmed and the agreement is pending a physical.

Fans are very excited that the Blue Jays were finally able to get a deal done with a top-end free agent this winter after missing out on an insane numbers of players throughout the offseason.

While the number of the contract is not confirmed yet, it looks like it is a five-year deal with an opt-out after the 2028 season.

While the exact number of the contract is still not out there, it is said to be for more than $90 million, according to multiple sources.
