The Toronto Blue Jays have signed outfielder Eloy Jimenez to a minor league contract with an invitation to major league spring training. The 29-year-old slugger, once a top prospect for the Chicago White Sox, brings power potential despite recent struggles. This low-risk move adds depth to Toronto's offseason roster.
Building on the initial report of Japanese slugger Munetaka Murakami's two-year, $34 million agreement with the Chicago White Sox (including a $6.5 million posting fee to the Yakult Swallows), new details highlight his role in the rebuild alongside prospects like Colson Montgomery. The 25-year-old power hitter, fresh off NPB stardom, faces strikeout and defense hurdles but could re-enter free agency at 28 after proving himself.
