Blue Jays' Ernie Clement: Dodges arbitration
www.cbssports.comHere’s the latest I can provide based on recent reporting.
Ernie Clement and the Toronto Blue Jays reportedly reached a contract agreement for the 2026 season, avoiding salary arbitration, with a figure around $4.6 million. This makes it his most lucrative season to date. [Source summaries from multiple outlets in early January 2026]
The deal reflects Clement’s versatility, as he’s expected to contribute across infield positions (and potentially the outfield), though his exact role and positioning depend on other roster moves and contracts in play for Toronto. [Source summaries from January 2026 reports]
