The Toronto Blue Jays have been off to a very impressive start but certain players such as Ernie Clement have been under delivering.
The Blue Jays had another incredible win yesterday afternoon against the Baltimore Orioles in which pitcher Jeff Hoffman got his revenge on Baltimore for pulling his contract in the off-season.
Blue Jays might be done with Ernie Clement
Despite the Blue Jays getting off to a great start in 2025 as they lead the American League East, a few players have been off to a tough start including third baseman Ernie Clement.
This is quite the surprise since Clement is coming off an unbelievable 2024 season where he finished with a solid 12 homeruns and 51 RBIs which is why most expected more from him this season.
After all, the 29-year-old third baseman had a breakout season last year that saw him compile a solid .263 average while posting career-bests in games played (139), runs scored (48), doubles (21), triples (3), home runs (12), RBI (51) and stolen bases (12). -Eng
Instead of building off of last year, Clement has hit a massive decline where he is currently one of the Blue Jays worst hitters with a 0.97 batting average in 14 games with a total of 31 at batts.
However, the 2025 season has been a complete disaster for Clement.
In 14 games, he has put up a .097 average with seven strikeouts in 31 at-bats. In fact, Clement has registered just one hit in his last nine games. -Eng

If this situation continues, Clement could find himself being DFA'd then traded since the 29 year old current has no more minor league options left but with his history, a team will surely take a chance on him.
If Clement's situation is history repeat itself, his struggles could end ending his tenure with the club since he doesn't have any minor league options left. -Eng
It will be interesting to see if he steps it up or if he ends up off the Blue Jays roster.
