The Tampa Bay Rays have acquired left-handed pitcher Brandon Eisert from the Toronto Blue Jays.
The Blue Jays designated Eisert for assignment on January 20th in order to make space for incoming free agent Anthony Santander; Eisert had just turned 27-years old the day prior. Originally selected by Toronto in the 18th round of the 2019 draft, Eisert received little fanfare as he worked his way through the Blue Jays’ system. The sidewinding southpaw made it to Triple-A in just his second professional season in 2022 (COVID delayed his debut a year); however, Eisert spent the entirety of the 2022 and 2023 campaigns in Triple-A.
