The Atlanta Braves signed free-agent right-handed reliever John Brebbia and added him to the big-league roster on Sunday, in addition to outfielder Eli White. In a corresponding move to make room on the 40-man roster, the Braves designated left-hander Zach Logue for assignment. In the middle of a race for the final wild-card spot in the National League, it's unlikely that the Braves will entrust Brebbia with working high-leverage innings in the back of their bullpen after he posted a career-worst 6.29 ERA (4.43 FIP) with a 1.42 WHIP, two saves, 17 walks and 58 strikeouts in his 48 2/3 innings of work out of the bullpen earlier this year with the Chicago White Sox. The 34-year-old also had 13 holds with the Pale Hose, but fantasy managers in NL-only leagues shouldn't expect much from Brebbia in that category in his new home.
The Chicago White Sox released right-handed reliever John Brebbia on Thursday. Brebbia cleared waivers after being designated for assignment earlier this week and is now free to sign with any club. Brebbia opened his lone season with the Pale Hose as a candidate to see save opportunities in a really bad bullpen. He did pick up the third and fourth saves of his career, but he also wasn't very good in general, going 0-6 with a career-worst 6.29 ERA (4.43 FIP), a 1.42 WHIP and a 58:17 K:BB in 48 2/3 relief innings before being cut. The 34-year-old may have to wait until the offseason to find a new team as he looks to make his way back to the big leagues. The former 30th-round selection of the New York Yankees in 2011 out of Elon University holds a 3.82 ERA, a 1.22 WHIP, four saves and a 25.7% strikeout rate in his seven seasons in the big leagues with three different teams.
The Chicago White Sox optioned infield prospect Bryan Ramos to Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday and also designated right-handed reliever John Brebbia for assignment. Ramos will head right back to Charlotte after being recalled on Monday to make room for Jacob Amaya, who was claimed off waivers from Houston. Ramos, the team's No. 13 prospect per MLB Pipeline, played in his first 15 big-league games earlier this year and went only 9-for-46 (.196) with two doubles, two RBI and eight strikeouts in 48 plate appearances. The 22-year-old should see more run in the big leagues in 2025 for his right-handed power stroke. Brebbia gets removed from the 40-man roster after posting a rough 6.29 ERA in 54 appearances for the Pale Hose this year, although he did pick up two saves and 13 holds in the process for a terrible White Sox bullpen.
