Andrés Giménez was traded to the Jays from the Guardians for two players during the offseason. Despite a strong start to the season, where he achieved a batting average of .308, his performance declined sharply, dropping to .165 at one point. This slump occurred despite some initial excitement around his new batting technique. Currently, his stats show he has struggled significantly, particularly since returning from the injury list. His defensive capabilities remain strong, but concerns about his offensive contribution loom, especially given the financial commitments tied to his contract.
"Giménez was signed through the 2030 season with increasing salaries, peaking at $23 million in 2030, making his contract a significant investment for the Jays."
"John Schneider's decision to bat Giménez clean up was initially vindicated by his hot start, but subsequent performance dropped drastically, leading to concerns over his viability in the lineup."
