The Toronto Blue Jays broke their free agent drought by signing Anthony Santander, but according to a new report they aren't done trying to add to their lineup.

Santander launched 44 home runs and drove in 102 runs this past season with the Baltimore Orioles. He has averaged 35 home runs and 95 RBI over the last three seasons. In a lineup that severely lacks thump outside of Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Santander gives them the big bat they desperately needed. The fact that he's a switch-hitter helps as well.

The Dodgers aren't the only team who have ever used them or currently used them — there's the infamous Bobby Bonilla and Chris Davis deals, and Anthony Santander's new Blue Jays contract has deferred money — but no one's ever used them at the scale and to the effect that the Dodgers have.

In the '90s and '00s, the Yankees were often referred to as “the Evil Empire” for their willingness to outspend everyone else. There's a new "Evil Empire" today.

The Toronto Blue Jays finally landed a high-profile free agent, adding Anthony Santander to their powerful lineup.
