\"Tyler<\/p>\n

The Baltimore Orioles turned heads on Saturday, inking Tyler O’Neill to a three-year, $49.5 million contract with an opt-out after the 2025 season.<\/p>\n

That essentially puts an end to the Anthony Santander era, setting up the free-agent right fielder for a hefty payday and a new home ballpark next season.<\/p>\n

Santander should have his share of suitors after a career-best campaign in Baltimore, in which he slashed .255\/.308\/.506 with 44 home runs and 102 RBI.<\/p>\n

That’s where the New York Yankees come into play. On the surface, Baltimore signing a quality bat like O’Neill is bad. This O’s offense is extremely explosive at its peak and O’Neill, when healthy, brings major pop to the middle of any lineup.<\/p>\n

That said, Baltimore is arguably losing the better player \u2014 and setting up a potential Yankees contingency plan in the process.<\/p>\n

Of course New York wants to re-sign Juan Soto, but the Mets, Red Sox, and Blue Jays are all lurking.<\/p>\n

If Soto leaves the Yankees hanging, that puts a major hole in the outfield depth chart. Who better to fill it than Santander, who is intimately familiar with the AL East landscape?<\/p>\n

Going to the Yankees would also give Santander to apply direct pressure to the O’s, who he surely wants to exact revenge upon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
