ANALYSIS
This move was expected, as this is the 30-year-old Santander's one chance to get a big long-term deal. The switch hitter slashed .235/.308/.506 with 44 home runs, 91 runs and 102 RBI in 155 regular-season games last season for Baltimore and has 105 homers in 460 games over the past three seasons. If he signs elsewhere, Baltimore will receive a draft pick.
