Now they bring in a guy that's probably as close to Teoscar as you can get without it actually being Teoscar...and it's a mistake.

Yeah. Santander has consistently been my 2nd choice outfield for a FA signing (and Soto was probably never happening...)
And any time the Jays sign a FA it will be because they were the high bidder. So there will always be criticism. But he's a legit OF power bat. That costs in money/term.
I think Varsho can cover a bit on the defensive side of the ball and over time he'll move more into being the DH, which is fine. I also think there's a chance he opts out after the 3 years (especially if salaries continue to rise) and they let someone else overpay for his retirement years.
