"On Tuesday afternoon, the Cleveland Guardians traded Justin Bruihl to the St. Louis Cardinals for cash considerations. The Cardinals designated Zak Kent for assignment in a subsequent move. If you're keeping track, this is the second time Bruihl has been traded, as the Blue Jays sent him to the Guardians, also for cash considerations. Bruihl has also been designated for assignment by both the Blue Jays and Guardians."
"Bruihl had experience pitching in the big leagues in prior seasons. He spent time with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2021, 2022, and 2023, before appearing in seven games with the Colorado Rockies to end 2023. His 2024 season was spent with the Pittsburgh Pirates. In that span, Bruihl had a K% of 15.9%, so you can see why a few teams have been interested in him this off-season."
The Cleveland Guardians traded left-handed reliever Justin Bruihl to the St. Louis Cardinals for cash considerations, and the Cardinals designated Zak Kent for assignment. Bruihl was previously traded from the Blue Jays to the Guardians for cash and was designated for assignment by both clubs. The 28-year-old signed as a minor league free agent with the Blue Jays last off-season and appeared in 15 major-league games in 2025. He posted a 5.27 ERA and 4.16 FIP in 13.2 innings with a 27.7% strikeout rate, and had stronger Triple-A results with Buffalo. Bruihl will be out of option years in 2026, creating roster risk while JoJo Romero draws trade speculation.
