Blue Jays Distance Team From Anthony Santander After Anti-Islam Social Posts

The Toronto Blue Jays issued a statement distancing the club from outfielder Anthony Santander after he posted anti-Islam videos on Instagram. The posts were subsequently removed. The Blue Jays stated individual comments do not represent their values. Santander signed a five-year, $92.5 million contract after 2024 but played only 54 games in 2025 before undergoing left labrum surgery, concluding a brief five-game rehab assignment in September.
