The Marlins have acquired infielder Leo Jiménez from the Blue Jays in exchange for infielder Dub Gleed and $250K in international bonus pool money, sources confirmed to MLB.com.
The 24-year-old Jiménez played in parts of two seasons with the Blue Jays from 2024-25, posting a .635 OPS with five home runs in 81 games. Jiménez was out of Minor League options and was designated for assignment earlier this week by Toronto. Jiménez was previously a highly touted prospect in the Blue Jays farm system, ranking as the club’s No. 5 prospect by MLB Pipeline before the 2024 season.
With a recent influx of injuries to Marlins position players, including Kyle Stowers, Christopher Morel, Maximo Acosta and Esteury Ruiz, there was a need for Miami to find a potential short-term solution. The Marlins have a full 40-man roster, so a corresponding move will be needed to accommodate Jiménez.
Gleed is a 23-year-old infielder and was a ninth-round selection in the 2024 Draft. In his first MiLB season last year, Gleed had a .738 OPS and two home runs in 71 games.
