Blue Jays trade Justin Bruihl to Guardians for cash considerations
"During last season's Spring Training, the left-handed reliever signed a minor-league deal with the Blue Jays, earning a call-up to the big league team in mid-June. Over the span of a few stints with the big league team, the 28-year-old left-handed pitcher had a 5.27 ERA and 4.16 FIP in 13.2 innings pitched, with a 27.7 K% and 10.8 BB%. Bruihl had a better time with the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons, authoring a 3.43 ERA and 3.38 FIP in 42 innings pitched, with a 27.8 K% and 9.1 BB%."
"Despite his struggles in the big leagues, Bruihl was named to the Blue Jays' American League Divisional Series roster as the New York Yankees had a ton of left-handed hitters. The lefty made just one appearance in Game 2 of the series, allowing a hit to break up Trey Yesavage's no-hitter. Overall, he gave up two earned runs in a third of an inning pitched."
"This is the fourth trade between the Blue Jays and Guardians in a little over a year. On Dec. 10, 2024, the Jays sent Spencer Horwitz and Nick Mitchell to the Guardians for Nick Sandlin and Andrés Giménez. Later that off-season, the Jays acquired Myles Straw and International Free Agent bonus pool money for cash considerations. At the 2025 trade deadline, the Jays sent pitching prospect Khal Stephen to the Guardians for Shane Bieber."
Left-handed reliever Bruihl signed a minor-league deal with the Blue Jays during Spring Training and earned a mid-June major-league call-up. He recorded a 5.27 ERA and 4.16 FIP in 13.2 MLB innings with a 27.7% strikeout rate and a 10.8% walk rate. At Triple-A Buffalo he posted a 3.43 ERA and 3.38 FIP in 42 innings with a 27.8% K% and 9.1% BB%. He made one ALDS appearance, allowing two earned runs in a third of an inning. The Blue Jays designated him for assignment and traded him to the Guardians amid a full 40-man roster and recent interclub transactions.
