Guardians Trade for Justin Bruihl, DFA ALCS Hero Jhonkensy Noel

Cleveland acquired lefty reliever Bruihl from Toronto for cash, then designated Jhonkensy Noel for assignment to clear a roster spot. Noel’s 2024 postseason highlight was a tying two-run ninth-inning homer off Luke Weaver in ALCS Game 3 vs the Yankees. In 2025, the 24-year-old hit .162 with six homers in 69 games. Bruihl, 28, posted a 5.27 ERA in 15 outings with Toronto.
