The Toronto Blue Jays have an abundance of young infielders as of right now with Leo Jimenez, Davis Schneider and Orelvis Martinez which the Blue Jays might look into trading to add some offense before the start of the season.
The Blue Jays have a ton of young players that seem ready to make the jump to the MLB but at the same time they unfortunately do not have enough room for everyone of their roster.
The Blue Jays might be forced to trade some of their young infielders
Offense has been an issue for the Blue Jays over the last few years which is why it was a priority this off-season but apart from Anthony Santander,, they were unable to add any solid hitters.
One solution they still have to add a solid hitter before the start of the 2025 season is to trade away one or a couple of their young infielders which would likely bring them back a solid return.
However, it seems as if the way the Blue Jays add before the season begins is through trade. Who they might be interested in is anybody's best guess, but the team has a whole lot of MLB-ready infield prospects and young players and not a lot of spots available. -Delaney
One interesting option is Davis Schneider who the Blue Jays could look to move since the chances of him making the team currently are slim and he could bring back a solid player but since he still has minor league options left, it will be a tough choice for Toronto to make.
The 26-year-old is versatile, playing both second base and left field, and could fill in as a fourth outfielder if need be. Schneider also has three option years remaining, meaning that if he doesn't make the roster out of Spring Training, he could hit his way back to the 26-man roster. -Delaney
Some most likely player to be trade would likely be Leo Jimenez since he is a shortstop but between Bo Bichette and Arjun Nimmala, the Blue Jays do not have much room for him.
Jiménez was given an additional option year as well, meaning more flexibility. He is strong defensively at shortstop and there's probably another gear with the bat. However, the question is, where does he play? -Delaney
Moving at least one or two infielders such as Schneider or Jimenez seems like the right move to make if the Blue Jays are in need of bringing more offense but just because it seems logical, that does not mean it will happen.
