Brewers Give Joba Chamberlain Another Shot
Last year, after he was released by the Cleveland Indians, Chamberlain used his newfound free time to spend quality time with his 10-year-old son Karter.
He called it “the best three months of my life.”
Chamberlain couldn’t keep himself out of baseball for very long, however. This week he signed a Minor League deal with the Brewers.
In 20 games for Cleveland last season, Chamberlain posted a respectable 2.25 ERA. He spent most of the season plagued with a strained left intercostal and was subsequently released in July.
Nobody picked him up and it ended up being a blessing in disguise.
