Overview
- A trade announced Sunday by the Blue Jays sends infielder Leo Jiménez to Miami for minor leaguer Dub Gleed and $250,000 in international bonus pool space.
- Toronto designated Jiménez for assignment after he missed the Opening Day roster, a required step when a player cannot be sent to the minors.
- Miami’s 40-man roster is full, so the Marlins must clear a spot before officially adding Jiménez.
- Jiménez debuted in 2024 with a 101 wRC+ over 210 plate appearances but struggled with injuries in 2025, posting a .301 OPS in 18 MLB games.
- International bonus pool space is the budget teams use to sign amateur players from abroad, and the extra $250,000 gives Toronto more room to pursue those signings.
