Blue Jays, Nic Enright Agree to Minor League Deal

[Leo Morgenstern]

According to ESPN's Alden González, the Blue Jays have agreed to a two-year minor league contract with reliever Nic Enright.

Enright, 28, finally made it to the majors in 2025, after cancer treatment derailed his career from 2022-24. The right-hander threw 31 innings for the Guardians in his rookie campaign, pitching to a 2.03 ERA and 3.75 xERA. He collected his first MLB win, hold, and save, while striking out 30 and limiting opponents to a .618 OPS.

Unfortunately, Enright hit the injured list in September and underwent Tommy John surgery in October, ending his 2026 season before it could begin. Hence, the two-year minor league contract: He'll spend next season rehabbing in the Blue Jays organization, and, hopefully, he'll be ready to compete for a role with the team in 2027.

No risk signing, probably doesnt move the needle much either way in 2027 but, why not?
