Blue Jays sign Justin Bruihl to minor league contract

The Toronto Blue Jays have signed left-handed pitcher Justin Bruihl to a minor league contract. Bruihl, who became a free agent after the 2024 season, adds depth to the team's bullpen. Bruihl has played in the MLB for four seasons, with a career ERA of 4.62. He had a low strikeout rate in the majors but performed better in the minors, with a 26.55% strikeout rate. With this signing, the Blue Jays now have additional options for left-handed pitchers, as they prepare for the upcoming season. Bruihl is expected to start the season with Triple-A Buffalo.
