"Gleed, 23, was drafted in the ninth round of the 2024 draft by the Marlins. After three successful seasons at the University of California - Irvine, he made his professional debut in 2025 where he had a 124 wRC+ split between four levels."
"Overall, Jiménez slashed .229/.329/.358 with four home runs in 210 plate appearances. He found success in his brief tenure with the Bisons, slashing .304/.437/.375 with no home runs in 71 plate appearances."
"Due to no options, the Jays had to add him to the 26-man roster or waive him. In the end, they elected to do the latter as Davis Schneider had a strong 2025 season."
"How Jiménez's and López's tenure came to an end with the Jays is rather similar. Both middle infielders weren't top options to make the spot and were eventually DFA'd."
The Blue Jays traded Leo Jiménez to the Miami Marlins for corner infield prospect Dub Gleed and $250,000 in International Free Agency bonus pool money. Jiménez, who struggled with injuries, had a career slash line of .229/.329/.358 with four home runs in 210 plate appearances. He missed much of the 2025 season but had success in the minors. The trade allows Jiménez a better opportunity with the Marlins, similar to former teammate Otto López, who also found success after being DFA'd by the Jays.
