The Toronto Blue Jays have agreed to a trade that brings All-Star second baseman Andres Gimenez from the Guardians, as they seek to improve after a poor 2024 season.
Gimenez, 26, has a seven-year, $106.5 million contract, with three Gold Gloves, but some executives view him as overpriced amid a changing market for offensive talent.
Toronto's recent struggles and the uncertainty surrounding key players like Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette underscore the franchise's need for a strategic shift.
With rival teams speculating on their future direction, the Blue Jays opted for this move instead of a complete rebuild, signaling a pivotal moment for the franchise.
