Toronto Blue Jays general manager has publicly denounced outfielder Anthony Santander over anti-Islam social media posts, calling the content "extremely disappointing." The condemnation comes as Santander's first two seasons with the organization have fallen short of expectations on the field.
The Blue Jays signed Santander to a five-year, $92.5 million contract ahead of the 2025 season, hoping the switch-hitting slugger would provide middle-of-the-order power. Through two campaigns, however, his production has not matched the investment, and the off-field controversy adds another layer of complication to his tenure in Toronto.
The organization has not announced any disciplinary measures at this time. Major League Baseball typically reviews such matters under its personal conduct policy.
