Rumors of a contract update with Ernie Clement have begun
Rumors have been floating around that the Blue Jays are already looking to sign Clement to a contract extension.

However, there are rumors floating around online that Clement has either signed or is in negotiations for a four year deal with the Blue Jays.
There is a rumor going around that appears to be based on a Facebook post that says Clement has signed a new four-year deal. -Heyen
While these are nothing but rumors, fans will certainly be happy to know that it seems like the Blue Jays want to keep Clement long term after a phenomenal 2024 and 2025 season.
Clement might not be the best player in the Blue Jays lineup, he has certainly become a fan favorite for his joyful attitude and the way he plays every game at 100% leaving nothing off the field.
If the Blue Jays can lock in a young player like Clement for the next four years, this can set them up to build around this young core of players they currently have.
Despite being nominated for multiple Gold Glove awards over the last two years, he has still yet to win but he definitely proved his worth when he set the MLB record for most post-season hits in 2025.
