"The Blue Jays are hopeful that Jimenez can make an impact in Toronto at some point down the road. Jimenez made his big league debut in 2019 with the White Sox. He immediately displayed signs of stardom, hitting 31 home runs to go along with an .828 OPS. Jimenez ultimately finished fourth in American League Rookie of the Year voting. During the shortened 2020 campaign, Jimenez slashed .296/.332/.559 en route to a Silver Slugger award."
"Jimenez, 28, was once a promising player on the Chicago White Sox. After dealing with injuries and overall underperformance, Chicago moved on from Jimenez and traded him to the Baltimore Orioles during the 2024 season. In free agency this past offseason, Jimenez signed a minor league deal with the Tampa Bay Rays and would play in Tampa Bay's minor league system until getting released in July of 2025."
Eloy Jimenez agreed to a minor-league contract with the Toronto Blue Jays after stints with the White Sox, Orioles, and the Tampa Bay Rays' minor league system. Jimenez burst onto the scene in 2019 with 31 home runs and a .828 OPS, finishing fourth in AL Rookie of the Year voting, and earned a Silver Slugger in the shortened 2020 season with a .296/.332/.559 line. Persistent injuries and underperformance limited his availability thereafter, and his 2024 combined batting line dropped to .238 with a .626 OPS. He hit .256/.330/.360 across 48 minor-league games in 2025. The Blue Jays sit atop the AL East and could promote Jimenez if he performs well in the minors.
