According to a report by Forbes contributor Dan Freedman, Santander's since-removed posts contained anti-Muslim rhetoric that sparked immediate backlash online. The 30-year-old Venezuelan-born player, who joined the Blue Jays in the 2025 offseason, has not yet issued a public statement addressing the matter.
