Fact Checked by Jim Tomlin

The 2024 MLB season is now in the rear-view mirror for Maryland sports betting, and free agency is slated to kick off soon. With that in mind, it’s worth wondering what will happen with Baltimore Orioles’ All-Star outfielder Anthony Santander, who is a free agent for the first time this offseason.

BetMaryland.com developed exclusive odds projecting outfielder Anthony Santander’s next landing spot. The Orioles made a qualifying offer to Santander, but he likely will decline it and land a larger deal by entering the free agency market.

Santander, an eighth-year outfielder out of Venezuela, is coming off a career year in the Charm City. In 2024, he had an OPS+ of 134 and his second-highest WAR total to date (2.9, according to baseball-reference.com data). That WAR was only 0.1 lower than Santander had in the Orioles’ 2023 campaign, when he hit .257 with an OPS+ of 121 along with 28 home runs and 95 RBIs.

This season, Santander was even better offensively, with 44 home runs and 102 RBIs, both career highs, in 155 games. He posted his second highest OPS to date (.814) while anchoring Baltimore’s lineup as the Orioles made the MLB playoffs for a second straight season.

Where Will Anthony Santander Play Next?

The team at Spotrac.com gives Santander a market value of $17.7 million per year (five years, $88.687 million), which would dwarf his career earnings to date. The 30-year-old has made just under $26 million in his MLB career.

At BetMGM Maryland Sportsbook, as of Nov. 15, the Os hold +220 odds to win the American League East in 2025. That's second behind the defending AL pennant-winning New York Yankees (+125).

The odds that Santander either remains in Baltimore or signs with a team not mentioned on our list are pretty solid at +300. But it’s worth keeping an eye on potential suitors like the Washington Nationals, who are the non-Baltimore leader to land the veteran at +450 odds on our board. The Cincinnati Reds (+500), Philadelphia Phillies (+600), Cleveland Guardians (+650) and Kansas City Royals (+700) are right on their tails.

Either way, Santander figures to make far more than he did in 2024, when he signed a one-year, $11.7 million deal to avoid arbitration with the Orioles before Opening Day.
