"Some Jays fans could jump in and quickly argue that big offseason free agent signing Anthony Santander hasn't lived up to his contract yet. After all, the former All-Star outfielder had struggled mightily in his first year with the club, batting a pitiful .179 and a .577 OPS, with just 14 runs scored, five doubles, six home runs and 18 RBIS over 50 games played."
"Unfortunately, he ended up putting up the worst numbers of his 10-year MLB career. In 45 relief appearances, Green sported a dismal 5.56 ERA, 1.47 WHIP, while giving up hard contact, leading to 27 earned runs including 14 home runs in just 43 2/3 innings of work. More notably, the 34-year-old right-hander gave up three runs or more in each of his last three outings before being designated for assignment at the trade deadline and subsequently released a few days later."
"So unlike Santander, who is still with the Jays right now despite being on the IL, Green didn't end up lasting the whole 2025 campaign with Toronto. As a result, his $10.5 million that he makes this year surpasses the salary total for Santander by just over a million"
Chad Green struggled throughout 2025, posting a 5.56 ERA and 1.47 WHIP across 43 2/3 innings, allowing 27 earned runs and 14 home runs. He surrendered three or more runs in each of his final three outings, was designated for assignment at the trade deadline, and was released shortly thereafter. Green earns $10.5 million this season. Anthony Santander hit .179 with a .577 OPS in limited action while on the injured list with left shoulder inflammation. Santander's five-year, $92.5 million contract is largely deferred and backloaded, paying $9.1 million in 2025.
