Following several early-season injuries, the Toronto Blue Jays traded for Lenyn Sosa on April 13. Sosa’s arrival didn’t move the needle at the BetMGM online sportsbook, but it was a much-needed acquisition for a Blue Jays team enduring a slow start to the year, and he’s starting to heat up for the Jays.
Who Is Lenyn Sosa?
Sosa is a second baseman, third baseman, and first baseman from Venezuela.
The 2025 season was a long-awaited breakout for the versatile infielder. He was worth 0.8 bWAR, with 22 home runs and a 101 OPS+.
Sosa increased his bat speed in 2025 and made marked progress with how often he was able to pull the ball in the air. A lack of plate discipline puts a hard ceiling on his offensive production, however, with a 3.3% walk rate and 40.9% chase rate in 2025.
The 26-year-old has been a poor defender for most of his big-league career, though his early numbers as a Blue Jay are encouraging. He’s in the 47th percentile in sprint speed in 2026.
Which Teams Has Lenyn Sosa Played For?
Sosa played for the Chicago White Sox before being traded to the Blue Jays.
He also represented Leones del Caracas in the 2025-26 Venezuelan Winter League.
When Was Lenyn Sosa Drafted?
Sosa wasn’t drafted. He was signed by the White Sox as an international free agent in 2016 for $325,000.
He made his MLB debut for the White Sox in 2022. Sosa played 163 games across the 2022, 2023, and 2024 seasons and was worth -1.7 bWAR in that period.
