John Brebbia - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Lands MiLB deal with Red Sox The Red Sox signed Brebbia to a minor-league contract Thursday, Tom Caron of NESN reports.

Impact Brebbia allowed five runs over 4.1 innings in three appearances for the Rockies earlier this season but has spent most of the year at the Triple-A level, posting a 4.14 ERA and 45:11 K:BB over 37 innings. He will provide some experienced relief depth at Triple-A Worcester.

Re-signs with Rockies Brebbia signed a minor-league contract with the Rockies on Thursday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Impact Brebbia elected free agency after being DFA'd by the Rockies last week, and after testing his value in the open market, he's now back in the organization on a minor-league deal. The 36-year-old righty will report to Triple-A Albuquerque, where he has thrown nine shutout innings while striking out 10 batters without conceding a walk.

Elects free agency Brebbia cleared waivers Friday and elected free agency.

Impact Brebbia was DFA'd by the Rockies on Wednesday after giving up five earned runs in just 4.1 innings with the big club. The 36-year-old has performed much better in the minors (4.30 ERA, 1.30 WHIP), so he may still be able to land a minor-league contract in the open market.

JULY 1 • Associated Press

DFA'd by Colorado The Rockies designated Brebbia for assignment on Wednesday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Impact Brebbia's time in the majors was short lived after spending just 10 days with the big-league club since being called up from Triple-A Albuquerque on June 21. The 36-year-old made two scoreless appearances before eventually making his third and final appearance, where he allowed five earned runs off of five hits in one inning of work on Tuesday against Miami. Colorado recalled Gabriel Hughes to take Brebbia's spot on the active roster.

Summoned to big leagues The Rockies selected Brebbia's contract from Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.

Impact He'll be joining the big-league bullpen as a replacement for right-hander Blas Castano (pectoral), who was moved to the 15-day injured list. The 36-year-old Brebbia caught on with the Rockies on a minor-league deal in late May and was highly effective over his seven appearances for Albuquerque, striking out 10 over nine scoreless frames. Brebbia could quickly settle into a high-leverage role in a Colorado bullpen that's lacking in dependable arms.

Lands with Rox Brebbia signed a minor-league contract with the Rockies on Thursday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Impact Brebbia inked an NRI deal with Colorado in December but failed to make the team out of spring training and was let go by the club shortly before Opening Day. Now back with the Rockies, the 35-year-old righty will look to make it back to the majors with an organization that doesn't boast much in terms of bullpen depth, though he will likely need to improve upon his 6.20 Triple-A ERA before drawing consideration for a promotion.

MAY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Triggers opt-out in MiLB deal The Twins released Brebbia on Wednesday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Impact Brebbia triggered the opt-out clause in his minor-league contract after the Twins decided not to promote him. The veteran reliever held a 6.20 ERA but a more promising 26:10 K:BB over 20.1 frames with Triple-A St. Paul.

MAY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Let go by Colorado The Rockies released Brebbia on Monday.

Impact Brebbia joined the Rockies in early December on an NRI deal. He entered spring training with a decent shot at making the team's Opening Day roster but struggled across seven Cactus League games, allowing seven runs on nine hits while striking out 11 across nine innings.

MARCH 23 • ROTOWIRE

Grabs NRI pact from Colorado The Rockies signed Brebbia to a minor-league contract with an invitation to spring training Monday, Kevin Henry of The Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Brebbia concluded the 2025 season with an ugly 7.71 ERA, though he did notch 26 strikeouts over 23.1 frames during his time with Detroit and Atlanta. The 35-year-old has a decent chance of cracking the Rockies' Opening Day roster as a middle reliever.

Lands with Red Sox Brebbia signed a minor-league contract with the Red Sox on Saturday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Impact Brebbia entered free agency after being DFA'd by Atlanta on Monday, and he'll now give the Red Sox some organizational bullpen depth at Triple-A Worcester to close out the season. The 35-year-old righty won't be eligible to pitch in the postseason.
