1. Oh. Cool. This is fine.

2. Why just now? Couldn’t he have done that months ago, after his season was done?

3. Great start to camp. Nathan Lukes welcome back to the starting lineup

4. Sighhhhh

   Well at least we don’t have to worry about his defense in the outfield and Springer can DH full-time

5. Are you f***ing kidding me?

6. Disaster signing

7. Don’t worry, it’s not like this entire sub was banking on a huge bounce back season or anything….

8. What!! Isn’t that what the off-season is for. Ah man I was looking forward to a Tony taters comeback year.

9. Go get Kwan you bastards

10. Well there goes my argument that a Santander bounceback season was all but assured and that the offense could easily absorb the loss of Bo.

    

11. Sucks even more now we didn’t get Tucker or Bo. How did they not know this a month ago? Did he just hurt it recently?

12. Jesus Christ if it was looking this way why wasn’t this done in October/November. The Lukes/Schneider platoon should actually be pretty decent but they were still banking on Tony having a bounce back year.

13. Helps the DH squeeze a bit but christ, what they could’ve done with his salary.

14. So the man’s shoulder is just fully made of paper then, is what I’m taking from this.

    Also makes the fact that the only Big and Tall jerseys they sell on MLBShop being powder blue Santanders *WAY* funnier.

15. This is actually a huge blow. People were expecting him to have something of a bounce back and be a contributor this year

    His career might be done

16. Okay, Barger back in the outfield and Schneider gets to stay..

17. What an absolute disaster

18. What a dud.

19. WHAT?!!!!! holy shit what a disastrous signing

20. So he’ll be back just in time for the playoffs again /s.
    But in all seriousness, he’ll be back in time for the lockout.

21. Maybe he just wanted to skip half the season?

22. I just dropped to my knees in a Canadian Tire parking lot

23. What a bust of a signing.

24. I wish we could’ve move on from this signing 

25. Tony taters turns into Tito Mashed Pototos

    Lemme call Rendon to see if hes fine with that bank account

26. Davis Schneider, this is your moment.

27. Alrighty then. Shifting all hopes to Okomoto

28. 

29. Joey Loperfido is pretty much a lock for making the team now I’d imagine.

30. Welp. Time for a new flair

31. Sure wish we signed a power hitting outfielder.

32. Wow what a waste of money

33. Ugh. How much did we spend on this guy? That sucks.

34. So now we have a massive power hole in the lineup with Bo walking. Not a great start to the season

35. Part of the cope with this offence was Santander being back, now thats useless. We need another bat, Springer even if he was 90% what he was last year, we need another bat. Its gone okay to dire faster.
