Anthony Santander Avoids Arbitration With O's
11 months agoOutfielder Anthony Santander and the Baltimore Orioles settled at $11.7 million for the 2024 season on Thursday to avoid salary arbitration, according to a source. It's a big raise for Santander, who made $4.3 million last season on his way to slashing .257/.325/.472 with 28 home runs and 95 RBI in 656 plate appearances over 153 games in his seventh year in Baltimore. The switch-hitting 29-year-old Venezuelan did also have a career-high strikeout rate, but it wasn't anything to be overly concerned about moving forward. Santander should remain a reliable contributor across the board for fantasy managers in 2024 in a potent Orioles lineup and he should continue to play nearly everyday because of his above-average glove in the outfield.
