Tony Taters is officially going to be an Oriole no more. It’s been apparent for months that the O’s had moved on once they signed outfielder Tyler O’Neill, but Anthony Santander remained a free agent and you could always wonder if something weird might happen, at least until today. As first reported by MLB Network’s Jon Morosi, the Blue Jays and Santander have a contract agreement. The final deal is still pending a physical.
We should all prepare ourselves now for the reality that Santander is going to hit a home run against his former team on Opening Day, since the Orioles are opening in Toronto.
