The Toronto Blue Jays acquire former Tampa Bay Rays silver slugger

The Blue Jays have made a couple signings lately as they recently agreed to a minor league deal with on of their former pitchers in Ryan Borucki.

News broke late tonight on the Blue Jays day off that they have signed Jimenez to a minor league deal after he was released by the Tampa Bay Rays last month.

According to reports, Jimenez is in good health and ready to start playing but the Blue Jays are just waiting for him to get his work visa to head across the border.

This is a solid signing by the Blue Jays since there is very little risk since they are bringing him in on a minor league deal and it could end up being very rewarding as Jimenez has proved in the past that he can be a great MLB player.

Jimenez was a Silver Slugger winner back in 2020 with the Chicago White Sox when he finished with 14 homeruns and 41 RBIs in a shortened season in which he played 55 games.

So far in 2025, Jimenez has only played in Triple-A with the Rays where he had 3 homeruns and 29 RBIs in 40 games before being released.
