White Sox Release John Brebbia
3 months agoThe 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.
