"Jiménez's .290 batting average looks nice but he didn't produce an extra-base hit, leading to a .290/.343/.290 slash line and 82 wRC+, indicating he was 18% worse than league average at the plate overall."
"Though Jiménez was a potent slugger for much of the 2019 to 2023 window, he hasn't been in good form since, hitting just six home runs in 98 games in 2024."
"There was a bit of optimism among some Jays fans when Jiménez put up a decent .286/.333/.524 line in spring training this year, but his big league numbers were uninspiring."
Eloy Jiménez has been designated for assignment by the Blue Jays following the reinstatement of George Springer from the injured list. Jiménez struggled to secure a longer look, playing only eight innings in the outfield and failing to produce extra-base hits. His performance included a .290 batting average but an overall wRC+ of 82, indicating below-average offensive production. Despite a promising spring training, Jiménez's major league numbers remained disappointing, leading to his current free agency status.
