The Jays have traded for Andres Giménez and reliever Nick Sandlin from the Guardians. Apparently, Spencer Howitz and minor-league outfielder Nick Mitchell are going the other way. Who else is still a question. Giménez is a terrific defensive second baseman. He’s won the Gold Glove at second the last three years. In 2022, he was a terrific batter as well, hitting .297/.371/.466 with 17 home runs and 20 stolen bases. He hasn’t hit as well in the last couple of years. Last year, he hit .
In four seasons he has a 3.27 ERA in 209 games. He is turning 27 in January. I thought we were deep enough at second base, but we added defense and speed in Giménez and a much-needed arm in Sandlin. Giménez is signed through 2030, with an option for 2031. He’s to make $10,571,429 in 2025. $15,571,428 in 2026. then $23,571,429 the next three seasons. In 2030 it is $23 million. 2031 is a $23 option with a $2.5 million option for 2031. Horwitz hit .265/.357/.433 in 97 games for the Jays.
