Blue Jays Rack Up 6 Gold Glove Finalists, Headlined by Andrés Giménez

As of October 16th, 2025, the Toronto Blue Jays have emerged as a defensive powerhouse, with 5 of their players named as finalists for the prestigious Gold Glove Awards. The Jays' impressive representation includes Alejandro Kirk at catcher, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Ty France at first base, Andrés Giménez at second base, and Ernie Clement at both third base and as a utility player.

Giménez, who has won the Gold Glove for the past 3 consecutive years with the Cleveland Guardians, is a key part of the Jays' defensive prowess. The team acquired him in a trade last December, and his exceptional fielding has been a major factor in their success. Meanwhile, Kirk has emerged as one of the league's best defensive catchers, ranking third in fielding run value and second in pitch framing.

The Jays' commitment to playing sound defense has paid dividends, with manager John Schneider praising the hard work of his players. Ernie Clement, in particular, has impressed with his versatility, tying for the major-league lead in defensive runs saved while playing all four infield positions.
