Marlins Release Infielder Leo Jimenez

The Miami Marlins have released infielder Leo Jimenez, who was designated for assignment earlier this week. This decision was confirmed through his transactions log on MLB.com.

Jimenez joined the Marlins from the Toronto Blue Jays shortly after the start of the season, in exchange for infielder Dub Gleed and international bonus pool money. His performance in Miami was underwhelming, as he recorded a batting line of .199/.306/.259 over 66 games, primarily playing at third base.

At 25 years old, Jimenez has had a mixed career in the MLB, showing promise as a part-time player in 2024 but struggling in subsequent seasons. Despite his challenges at the plate, he improved his plate discipline this year, reducing his strikeout rate and increasing his walk rate. The Marlins opted to release him, allowing him to seek opportunities with other teams as he approaches minor league free agency.
