Blue Jays Acquire Myles Straw From Guardians
11 mins agoThe Toronto Blue Jays announced on Friday that they have acquired outfielder Myles Straw, cash and international bonus signing-pool space for the 2025 period from the Cleveland Guardians in exchange for a player to be named later or cash considerations. Straw doesn't really move the needle all that much offensively, but he did win a Gold Glove in 2022. Cleveland will cover $3.75 million of the $15.5 million that the 30-year-old is still owed and will send a total of $2 million in bonus-pool money to the Jays. Straw fell on hard times in the big leagues in 2024 and only ended up playing in seven games with the Guardians before being sent to the minors, where he slashed .240/.321/.330 with three homers, 47 RBI and 30 steals in 123 games for Triple-A Columbus. Speed is his main draw (89 thefts in seven big-league seasons), and he'll open the 2025 campaign as outfield depth for Toronto.
