A Baltimore Orioles slugger has put himself in a position to cash in as a free agent during the upcoming offseason.
Their roster is full of young, emerging stars with plenty more coming in their pipeline. Gunnar Henderson has been garnering MVP attention all season and top prospect Jackson Holliday looks to have found his form.
One of the hitters they acquired, Eloy Jimenez from the Chicago White Sox, has been excellent since getting to Baltimore. The sample size is small, as he has only 21 at-bats, but he has 11 hits with a 1.143 OPS. Santander, who made his first All-Star team this year, has already reset his career-high for home runs in a season with 34 and counting. Yankees star Aaron Judge is the only player in the AL who has more home runs than Santander this season.
While casual fans may be surprised to see his name atop some of the power-hitting leaderboards in baseball, teams have been taking notice for years. Santander has been a consistent source of home runs in Baltimore for the last few seasons, hitting 28+ in three straight campaigns., Santander has improved his stock heading into free agency in 2024 as much as any impending free agent. He used two New York Mets players as examples for what his market could be.
