The Cleveland Guardians are trading three-time Gold Glove-winning second baseman Andres Gimenez to the Toronto Blue Jays, ESPN reported.
The return to Cleveland will include Toronto first and second baseman Spencer Horwitz, per the report.
Gimenez, 26, was an All-Star selection in 2022 and won the Gold Glove Award in each of the past three seasons while anchoring the Guardians’ infield. He turned an MLB-best 93 double plays in 2024.
At the plate, Gimenez hit .252 with nine home runs and 63 RBIs this past season while stealing 30 bases for the second year in a row. In five MLB seasons with the New York Mets (2020) and Guardians (2021-24), he has batted .261 with 49 homers, 222 RBIs and 99 steals over 568 career games.
Gimenez is in the middle of a seven-year, $106.5 million contract he signed with the Guardians that runs through 2029, featuring a club option for 2030.
Horwitz, 27, appeared in 112 games for the Blue Jays over the past two seasons, including 97 in 2024. He has a career .264 batting average with 13 home runs and 47 RBIs.
