Before the All-Star Game, Clement was asked about losing the 2025 World Series in an interview with FOX.
Derek Jeter: “I tell you Ernie we had a great time watching you play last year. Now thinking back at the World Series and I’m saying it from experience because I’ve never gotten over it. Have you gotten over the World Series loss? And what’s your approach going into this season?”
Clement: “I’m never going to get over the loss. There’s no doubt about that. But there’s so many things we can learn from it. When I look back on it there’s a lot of positive thoughts about it. It was such a cool experience. I got to experience it with an amazing group of guys. And we’re hungry to get back. Once you get there and get that taste of winning and making it to the World Series and being so darn close you will do anything to get back.”
Clement was picked in the 4th round of the 2017 MLB Draft.
He is in the middle of his fourth season with the Blue Jays.
Before Toronto, the 30-year-old spent time with the Guardians and Athletics over six total seasons in the MLB.
Keegan Matheson of MLB.com wrote (on June 22): “When the #BlueJays signed Ernie Clement in the spring of 2023, I didn’t even write a story. It was just another depth move, which is the beauty of this. From being DFA’d by the A’s to the World Series, WBC and leading the AL in All-Star voting. He’s the best story on this team.”
