Twins Sign Reliever John Brebbia to Minor-League Deal

Overview

• The Twins signed right-hander John Brebbia to a minor-league contract to bolster bullpen depth.
• Brebbia is expected to report to Triple-A St. Paul with a chance to earn a call-up if he throws well.
• He carries a 4.04 career ERA in 376 games, with his career interrupted by 2020 Tommy John surgery.
• His recent results have slipped, including a 6.29 ERA with the White Sox and a cut from the Rockies’ Opening Day roster after spring training.
• The move addresses losses of late-inning options Jhoan Duran, Griffin Jax, and Louis Varland in trades last summer.
