"Jimenez posted a respectable 101 wRC+ over his first 210 plate appearances, hitting .229/.329/.358 with four home runs, showcasing his potential as a player."
"With Bichette back in 2025 and other players becoming bigger parts of the infield picture, Jimenez became the odd man out, limiting his opportunities."
The Marlins are trading for infielder Leo Jimenez from the Blue Jays. Jimenez, out of minor league options, was designated for assignment after not making the Opening Day roster. He made his MLB debut in 2024, achieving a 101 wRC+ in 210 plate appearances. However, with the return of Bo Bichette and the emergence of other infield players, Jimenez's playing time diminished in 2025, resulting in only 18 games and a .301 OPS over 32 plate appearances.
