After losing Game 7 of the World Series on Saturday night, the Toronto Blue Jays are undoubtedly not ready to think about the offseason or awards season yet, but here we are.

Several Blue Jays were named finalists for Gold Glove Awards, which had its winners announced on Sunday night, just one day after the excruciating loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 7.

Here's how the Jays representatives did.

*It should be noted that these awards were decided based on regular season numbers and achievement, and the postseason did not factor in.*

Catcher: Jays Finalist - Alejandro Kirk

Other finalists: Dillon Dingler (Detroit Tigers) and Carlos Narvaez (Boston Red Sox)

Winner: Dingler 

About Kirk, with additional info from MLB.com:

He played 118 games at catcher this season, recording a .991 fielding percentage and 35 assists. He did have nine errors, which led the American League, but his 965.1 innings at the position were certainly integral to the Jays winning the American League East. He was an All-Star for the second time. He threw out 17 runners stealing.

Kirk, meanwhile, led all catchers with +21 Blocks Above Average and ranked second with +16 Catcher Framing Runs. He finished tied for second among all players, regardless of position, with a fielding run value of +22.

First Base: Jays Finalists - Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Ty France

Other finalists: Carlos Santana (Cleveland Guardians)

Winner: France

About Guerrero and France

This was certainly an interesting case in that two of the finalists both played for Toronto. A majority of France's work at the position came as a member of the Minnesota Twins, but he was traded to the Blue Jays at the trade deadline.

Guerrero spent 133 games at first base, getting 130 starts and amassing more than 1,100 innings. He made nine errors and had a .991 fielding percentage.

Guerrero also made huge strides on defense this season. His 10 DRS tied for the sixth most among qualified first basemen. His DRS total at the position from 2020-24 was minus-8.

France was never regarded as a strong defender with the Seattle Mariners, but he clearly made big improvements in 101 games at first between his two teams this year. He had just three errors in total and led the American League first base group in fielding percentage at .996.

He led all players at first base with 10 outs above average.

Second Base: Jays Finalist - Andres Gimenez

Other finalists: Luis Rengifo (Los Angeles Angels) and Marcus Semien (Texas Rangers)

Winner: Semien 

About Gimenez: He spent October playing shortstop while filling in for the injured Bo Bichette, but he's regarded as one of the best defensive infielders in the league wherever he plays. A former Platinum Glove winner, he continued to excel in his first year in Toronto, though he did it in a different way this season. He played just 87 games at second and 15 at shortstop, meaning his body of work at second wasn't as high as some others in the AL. He made just three errors in total, two of which came at the keystone.

He once again demonstrated his tremendous range at second with +10 Outs Above Average, which was second among qualified second basemen only to the Cubs’ Nico Hoerner

Third Base/Utility: Jays Finalist - Ernie Clement

Other finalists at third: Jose Ramirez (Cleveland Guardians) and Maikel Garcia (Kansas City Royals)

Winner: Garcia 

Other finalists at utility: Mauricio Dubon (Houston Astros) and Daniel Schneeman (Cleveland Guardians)

Winner: Dubon

About Clement: Also a finalist at third base in 2024, Clement was an interesting case once again. An October hero at the plate, he spent 89 regular season games at third base, 60 games at second, 29 at shortstop and 15 at first base. He had a .979 fielding percentage (four errors) at third, a .980 (4 errors) at second, a .972 (two errors) at shortstop and a .982 (one error) at first.

His versatility was absolutely key to the Jays success and he will be remembered forever for this season's contributions

Clement’s 2.9 Defensive WAR tied (Ceddanne) Rafaela for the most in MLB. He was a plus defender at third base, second base and shortstop, leading to +13 OAA.
