The Miami Marlins have acquired infielder Leo Jimenez from the Toronto Blue Jays in exchange for infield prospect Dub Gleed and $250,000 in international bonus pool money, according to reporter Francys Romero. Jimenez was out of minor-league options and did not make the Blue Jays' 26-player Opening Day roster.

Why it matters

The trade allows the Marlins to add depth to their infield while the Blue Jays free up a roster spot and gain a prospect and international bonus pool money. Jimenez provides the Marlins with a versatile infielder who can play multiple positions.

The details

Jimenez, 26, has spent the past four seasons in the Blue Jays' minor-league system. He has a career .280 batting average with 25 home runs and 152 RBIs in 418 games. Gleed, 22, was the Marlins' 12th-round draft pick in 2021 and played at High-A last season.

  • The trade was completed on March 30, 2026, just before the start of the 2026 MLB season.
