The Toronto Blue Jays are aggressively pursuing free agent slugger Anthony Santander, with discussions gaining momentum. The Blue Jays, who have been tied to Santander since the offseason began, are eager to secure his services after missing out on other notable free agents.

The Blue Jays have been tied to Anthony Santander as much as any team in recent weeks. While there’s still no agreement in place, Shi Davidi and Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet report that the Jays’ talks with the free agent slugger “picked up” this morning.
