For the Toronto Blue Jays, it's March 15th, and here's what's going on. The Toronto Blue Jays bolstered their roster this off-season, but one big signing draw scrutiny, the seven-year contract for Infielder Andres Kamenez at $106,500,000. Kamenez offers solid versatility across the Infield and shines defensively, especially as second base with three gold glove awards from 20, 22 to 2024, including a platinum glove in 2023. Boba Schett's move to the New York Metz in free agency opens shortstop for Kamenez this season, though experts worry it could limit his top-tier glove. Work from his second base days. His offense tells a different story, peaking with an A37 OPS in 2022 with Cleveland before slipping to 657. Overall since then, analysts argue the deal looks risky now, as his defensive skills hold value, but pair with below average hitting on such a hefty price tag. CNN is sponsored by our partner.
