The Brewers have signed right-handed reliever Michael Brady to a minor league deal with an invitation to spring training, according to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com.
The 30-year-old Brady hit the open market earlier this month after declining an outright assignment to Triple-A from the Athletics. Last year was Brady’s only season as a member of the Oakland organization, with which he made his major league debut and tossed 31 2/3 relief innings of 5.68 ERA ball, with 6.82 K/9, 1.71 BB/9 and a 33.7 percent groundball rate. He was much more successful as a swingman with the A’s top minors affiliate, logging a 3.21 ERA, 8.61 K/9, 1.01 BB/9 and a 39.3 grounder percentage across 53 1/3 frames (17 appearances, eight starts).
Brady entered the pro ranks in 2009 as a 24th-round pick of the Marlins, who drafted him as a shortstop. He transferred to the mound in 2010 and has since pitched to a stingy 3.07 ERA, with 9.1 K/9 and 1.5 BB/9, over 513 2/3 minor league innings with the Marlins, Angels, Nationals and A’s.
Must be nice….The rich get richer.
?
W/Brady??????? WTF?
Surprised he has time to pitch seeing he’s so busy with his 3 boys.
He got married and has three step kids now, too.
Yeah I know there are a bunch of them
That’s what Alice is for
He had some good moments in 2017, but he was a filler. He can flash a mid 90’s fastball at times, but it’s that inconsistency that is a little concerning.
This could be a sneaky good signing for the Brew Crew. If he hits his top side, he might be a serviceable mop-up guy out of the pen.
He’s really, really bad.
Can’t remember if he was married to Flo Henderson or Skip Henderson……..
Definitely Flo!!
I was going to make a Brady Bunch joke but it looks like every single other commenter (except for the spambot) beat me to the punch.
Sorry
He had a fling with Alice the maid…..or Sam the butcher……can:y remember which…
I think his son was gonna follow in his footsteps into baseball but he dropped out of college to become a race car driver
