Blue Jays Projected To Place Young Infielder On Waivers

Summary

The Toronto Blue Jays are considering placing infielder Leo Jiménez on waivers due to roster constraints and his lack of play versatility. Jiménez is a young player with experience, but the Blue Jays have other options for their infield positions.

Key Facts

  • The Toronto Blue Jays signed Kazuma Okamoto, adding competition to the infield.
  • Leo Jiménez, an infielder, is out of options, meaning he cannot be moved to the minor leagues without waivers.
  • Jiménez is projected not to make the Blue Jays' opening day roster.
  • If placed on waivers, another team could claim Jiménez.
  • The Blue Jays have other players like Ernie Clement and Andrés Giménez expected as regular infielders.
  • Vladimir Guerrero is the planned everyday first baseman for the team.
  • Addison Barger could cover third base when Okamoto is not playing, adding flexibility.
