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 joined the Blue Jays on a minor league deal in March after spending 2024 in both the Cincinnati Reds and Pittsburgh Pirates organizations. Bruihl was originally signed as an amateur free agent by the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2017 and he made his MLB debut in 2021 at the age of 24. Bruihl posted decent numbers while with the Dodgers. Between 2021-2023 he appeared in 65 games and posted a 3.65 ERA in 66.2 innings but accumulated just 43 strikeouts and a K/BB rate of 2.05.
