In a separate move, Toronto announced a trade with the Miami Marlins, sending Leo Jiménez to Miami in exchange for infielder Dub Gleed and international signing bonus pool space. The deal comes after Jiménez appeared in 18 games for the Blue Jays last season.
Reaction on social media highlighted the mixed fan response: the Marlins added Jiménez, a 24-year-old infield depth, while Toronto shed Jiménez and acquired international bonus pool space and Gleed. Analysts noted Jiménez’s performance as limited in major-league action but praised his defensive versatility in the middle infield.
The Marlins, entering Monday, are 3-0 after sweeping the Colorado Rockies and will host the Chicago White Sox in Miami to begin a new series. Toronto will remain active in the early season schedule, preparing to host the Colorado Rockies on Monday.
Looking ahead, the Jays will aim to maintain momentum after their clean start, while the Marlins look to build on their early-season success and integrate Jiménez into their roster.
