The Tigers have released right-hander , according to his at MLB.com. That was the likely outcome after he was designated for a signment a few days ago. Hes now free to sign with any club. Brebbia, 35, signed with the Tigers in the offseason. The one-year deal guaranteed him $2.75MM in the form of a $2.25MM base salary and a $500K buyout on a $4MM club option for 2026. The Tigers clearly didnt get the return they were hoping for on that investment. Brebbia mi sed about three weeks due to a right triceps strain. Around that, he to sed 18 2/3 innings with a 7.71 earned run average, 21.5% strikeout rate and 11.8% walk rate. Given that performance Vinnie Pasquantino Jersey and the money he is still owed, no club would be interested in taking on that contract. However, now that hes been released, the Tigers remain on the hook for the money. Any other club could sign Brebbia and would only have to pay him the prorated version of the league minimum salary for any time spent on the roster. That amount would be subtracted from what the Tigers pay. At that price point, Brebbia may find clubs who are interested in a bounceback, as his numbers prior to this year were far better than his 2025 results. From 2017 to 2024, he to sed 355 major league innings with a 3.80 ERA, 25.9% strikeout rate and 7.9% walk rate. Last year, his ERA spiked to 5.86, but everything under the hood seemed normal. His 27.7% strikeout rate and 7.9% walk rate were still strong figures. The extra runs seemed to come from some bad luck, with a .317 batting average on balls in play and 67.1% strand rate. His 4.52 FIP and 3.29 SIERA pointed towards positive regre sion, which is likely why the Tigers invested in him. The regre sion clearly hasnt come to pa s. Some of it may still be luck, as his .339 BABIP and 56.6% strand rate this year are worse than last years. His own performance is also part of it because, as mentioned, his strikeout and walk rate have moved in the wrong direction. But its po sible the triceps injury has been impacting him for part of this year. Given the number of pitching injuries around the league, Brebbia should find interest from clubs looking for low-cost solutions. Photo courtesy of Junfu Han, Imagn Images Steve Balboni Jersey
