"Giménez signed with the New York Mets in the 2015 International Free Agency and made his debut with the team in 2020, but was sent to the Cleveland Guardians for Francisco Lindor before the start of the 2021 season. The second baseman became a regular in the big leagues in 2022, the same season in which he had his best offensive season, finishing with a 141 wRC+. That season, Giménez won his first Gold Glove and even finished sixth in American League MVP voting."
"Giménez never regained his 2022 form with the bat, but he's still the best defensive second baseman in the American League. Despite missing a sizable chunk of the 2025 season, Giménez finished with 9 Defensive Runs Saved and 10 Outs Above Average in 719.2 innings at the position. That's Gold Glove worthy, considering it's the best DRS and OAA in the American League, but it's far worse than his last two seasons, when he averaged 21 DRS and 18.5 OAA."
Andrés Giménez is seeking a fourth consecutive American League Gold Glove at second base after winning the award each season since 2022. He was originally signed by the New York Mets in 2015, debuted in 2020, and was traded to Cleveland before the 2021 season. Giménez posted his best offensive season in 2022 with a 141 wRC+, earned a Gold Glove and finished sixth in AL MVP voting. He won additional Gold Gloves in 2023 and 2024 and a Platinum Glove in 2023. Despite missing part of 2025, he led AL second basemen with 9 DRS and 10 OAA in 719.2 innings.
