## Resource

The Toronto Blue Jays traded for shortstop Andres Gimenez in December 2024 to upgrade defense, but his $23M annual contract and poor hitting (.230/.300/.350) are now a liability. With key hitters like Guerrero Jr. and Springer also struggling, the Jays may be better off sacrificing his elite glove for a hitter who can contribute at the plate. The front office is likely exploring trades to shed salary, even if they have to eat some of it, while internally eyeing prospects like JoJo Parker and Arjun Nimmala—or even veteran Josh Kasevich—as potential replacements.
