Blue Jays Trade Jiménez to Marlins for Minor League Player

On March 29th, Toronto Blue Jays just traded infielder Leo Jimenez to the Miami Marlins for

minor league player Dub Glied and 250, $1,000 in international bonus money.

This deal keeps Jimenez off the triple A shuttle and lands him straight in South Beach.

The Jays had designated him for assignment before opening day to clear a roster spot.

Instead of risking waivers or sending him to Buffalo, they flipped him quick.

Miami needed infiel depth after Christopher Morel hit the injured list with an oblique

strain, sidelineing him 4-6 weeks.

He menace from Panama, struggled last season with the Jays, hitting just 69 over 172

in 18 games.

But he showed promise in his 2024 debut, slashing 229 over 329 over 358 in 63 games.

In the minors, he solid at 2, 73, over 393, over 389 across 400 games.

Meanwhile, Toronto's off to a hot start, sweeping the athletics with back-to-back walkoff

wins to open the year of franchise first.

They host the Colorado Rockies tomorrow after Miami swept them this weekend.

That bonus cash gives the Jays flexibility before the December 15th deadline, wrapping

this trade as a smart roster tweak early in the season.
