Another major point of discussion was the Baltimore Orioles and their General Manager Mike Elias. Recent reports suggested tension between Elias's reluctance to spend and ownership's desire for investment in the team.

The Blue Jays emerged as a potential fit for Santander as he continues to seek a new team.
