The Toronto Blue Jays are finalizing a trade on Tuesday to acquire three-time Gold Glove-winning second baseman Andres Gimenez from the Cleveland Guardians, according to sources. Gimenez should become a little bit more interesting from a fantasy perspective with the move to hitter-friendly Rogers Centre and a pretty potent Blue Jays lineup despite his struggles offensive in Cleveland in 2024. The 26-year-old slashed .252/.298/.340 with 63 RBI in 152 games played in his final year with the Guardians. Although his bat may not stand out among second baseman, his glove does, and Gimenez has also recorded back-to-back 30-stolen base campaigns. Gimenez will be a nice bounce-back candidate in Toronto in 2025 as an everyday player after sporting an .837 OPS just two years ago. Target his speed in drafts and hope that he can start hitting ball harder than he has the last two seasons.
Cleveland Guardians second baseman Andres Gimenez went 3-for-5 with a double and two singles on Thursday afternoon. Gimenez tallied his lone RBI in walk-off fashion as he scored Jose Ramirez on a ground ball to right field. The 26-year-old has been productive in the batter's box this month, carrying a .263/.291/.382 line with two home runs, three doubles, and five stolen bases. This season, the infielder has reached the 30-stolen base mark for the second-straight campaign while holding a modest .251 AVG. While his power production is inconsistent, fantasy managers should continue to count on the 26-year-old to be a threat on the basepaths.
Cleveland Guardians second baseman Andres Gimenez will take a seat on Monday for the series opener against the visiting Detroit Tigers with tough left-hander Tarik Skubal on the mound. In addition to Gimenez, the Guardians are resting infielder Daniel Schneemann, catcher Bo Naylor and outfielder Will Brennan. Tyler Freeman is starting at the keystone and batting seventh, Brayan Rocchio is at short and hitting eighth, Austin Hedges is doing the catching and batting ninth, and Angel Martinez draws into the lineup in center field while hitting in the two-hole against Skubal. Gimenez is hitting .245 (26-for-106) with only one of his five home runs on the season coming against southpaws. Overall in 2024, he's slashing .247/.300/.331 with a below-average .631 OPS, five homers, 45 RBI and 15 stolen bases in 92 games played for Cleveland.
