"That something was cash consideration, the always exciting, endless opportunity return for players that are usually on the edges of the roster. Cash can sometimes be even better than a player, because the team acquiring it can use it in an abundance of ways. The Blue Jays, who are already running an extremely deep payroll have their sights set on adding at least a couple more players before the offseason ends, and those players will certainly cost some cash."
"Bruihl became expendable after the Blue Jays signed Tyler Rogers, and traded for Chase Lee this past weekend. Those two moves put their 40-man roster at 41 players and so the subsequent move was made to DFA Bruihl. The southpaw appeared in 15 games for the Blue Jays in 2025, throwing 13.2 innings in the regular season, with a 5.27 ERA."
Left-handed pitching remains a hot offseason commodity, with teams frequently seeking southpaws to bolster their bullpens or rotations. The Cleveland Guardians acquired LHP Justin Bruihl from the Toronto Blue Jays in exchange for cash considerations after Toronto designated him for assignment. The Blue Jays cleared a roster spot after signing Tyler Rogers and trading for Chase Lee while aiming to add more payroll-costly players. Bruihl appeared in 15 games for Toronto in 2025, posting a 5.27 ERA over 13.2 innings with 18 strikeouts, 19 hits, seven walks, a 1.902 WHIP and 4.9 BB/9. Bruihl would join his fifth big-league team if he appears with Cleveland in 2026.
