Blue Jays and Guardians Shake Up Rosters with Key Trades
Originally Published 1 year ago — by The Athletic
The Toronto Blue Jays have acquired three-time Gold Glove second baseman Andrés Giménez from the Cleveland Guardians in a four-player trade, aiming to bolster their defense. While Giménez is a defensive asset, his offensive potential remains uncertain, prompting the Blue Jays to seek additional impact bats and pitching to avoid repeating last year's disappointing offseason. The trade, which also includes reliever Nick Sandlin, cost Toronto first baseman Spencer Horwitz and minor-league outfielder Nick Mitchell. The Blue Jays' offseason strategy hinges on further acquisitions to enhance their competitiveness for 2025.
