Leo Jiménez is a 24-year-old (25 on May 17th), right-handed hitting infielder. He was born in Chitre, Panama. The Jays signed him in 2017 (seems like a long time ago) for $825,000 as an international free agent. I’m curious about how much of the money goes to the player and how much of it goes […]

Boston Baro (25) Steve says: Boston Baro had a solid 2024, establishing himself as a player to keep an eye on, but his progress and development took a backslide in 2025. He still has youth on his side but is currently being fueled more by how he has room to improve rather than how he […]
