Blue Jays ship surprisingly DFA'd infielder to Marlins amid dueling hot starts
"Jiménez, 24 years old, was originally signed by the Blue Jays as an international free agent in 2017. He slashed .207/.303/.332 with an 85 wRC+ and was worth 0.3 fWAR in 81 games at the MLB level."
"The Blue Jays had previously designated Jiménez for assignment as part of the final round of roster cuts to end the spring. He had slashed .231/.310/.231 with a 51 wRC+ during spring training."
"In return, the Blue Jays are acquiring minor league corner infielder Dub Gleed. Gleed, 23 years old, was drafted by the Marlins in the ninth round of the 2024 draft."
The Toronto Blue Jays traded middle infielder Leo Jiménez to the Miami Marlins after a successful start to the 2026 season. Jiménez, who was designated for assignment, had a lackluster performance in the majors and spring training. He was originally signed in 2017 and made his major league debut in 2024. In exchange, the Blue Jays received 23-year-old Dub Gleed, a minor league corner infielder drafted by the Marlins in 2024. Jiménez's departure was anticipated due to his lack of minor league options.
