Myles Straw had become an afterthought for the Cleveland Guardians after barely appearing with them during the 2024 MLB season.

They traded Gold Glove second baseman Andres Gimenez to the Blue Jays at the winter meetings to get out from under the almost $100 million they owed him. They continued the pattern on Friday by sending another Gold Glove defender, Myles Straw, to Toronto for a player to be named.

The Toronto Blue Jays acquired outfielder Myles Straw in a deal with the Cleveland Guardians on Friday. Toronto received Straw, $3.75 million US cash considerations and $2 million in international signing bonus pool space for the 2025 period from Cleveland, which received a player to be named later or cash considerations.
