| 11/05/24 | MLB rumors: The eye-opening reason why Colin Rea went unclaimed after Brewers release. The Milwaukee Brewers have begun their yearly tradition of cutting costs, and on Monday, the Brewers ended up declining the $5.5 million player option on Colin Rea's contract, therefore making him a free agent.

The veteran pitcher managed to throw 292.1 innings during that span, which is certainly of value for any MLB team — but perhaps not just for $5.5 million. One of Rea's weak points as a pitcher is that his stuff doesn't rate highly in teams' metrics. Source: https://clutchpoints.com/mlb-rumors-the-eye-openin... |
