Right-hander John Brebbia has agreed to a minor league deal with the Colorado Rockies that includes an invite to Major League spring training.
That sound you hear is Tigers fans collectively sighing and saying, “Yeah … that tracks.”
Brebbia’s one-year, $2.75 million deal with the Tigers in 2025 was supposed to be the kind of low-risk bullpen add that smart front offices make –– veteran arm, decent track record, cheap enough not to sting. Instead, it turned into another example of Detroit paying real money for April optimism and May disappointment.
April fool's gold, if you will.
