Gimenez is not the offensive weapon the Blue Jays have been looking for but he is an incredible second baseman hence the three Gold Gloves and is still under contract until 2029.
Andres Gimenez is an incredible defensive player. One of the best. Tons of speed also.
Offensively he had a 141 wRC+ in 2022 and then followed it up with a 96 in 2023 and an 84 last year.
Under contract until 2029 with a club option for 2030

The return for Gimenez has yet to be announced by any source but will be revealed shortly.
Hopefully adding a player of this caliber defensively will help the Blue jays win more games in 2025.
