Here’s what people were saying about the deal:
Francys Romero: “The Miami Marlins acquired INF Leo Jimenez from the Blue Jays in exchange for infielder Dub Gleed and $250K in international bonus pool money, per sources.”
@FOFProspects: “Leo Jimenez is a 24-year-old 2B and SS. Limited to just 44 total games last year. 63 MLB games in 2024; .229/.329/.358. Was once graded Toronto’s #5 prospect. For-average bat with plus defensive tools up the middle. A 40-man spot will need to be cleared for him.”
Minor League Baseball: “You might recall Dub Gleed from breaking his bat on a no-contact check swing fame”
Mitch Bannon: “#BlueJays announce they’ve traded INF Leo Jiménez to the Marlins for INF Dub Gleed and international signing bonus pool space. Jiménez was DFA’d ahead of Opening Day”
@Ryley__Delaney: “There’s a weird alternate universe where the 2026 Blue Jays have Leo Jiménez and Otto López as their middle infielders. That universe doesn’t include an American League pennant, as much as I like both players.”
