Believe it or not his career OPS is not that far away from Hunter Renfroe. And you could argue Renfroe has been more consistent because he's been in that 25-30 HR range a bunch of times but never anything close to the 44 Santander just had. But he is a couple years older.

Santander's power carries his profile since he doesn't walk or hit for average.
Blue Jays executives Ross Atkins and Mark Shapiro are fighting to keep their jobs, so they're throwing money at a flawed team in a loaded division.
