Brewers Agree To MLB Deal With Deolis Guerra

By Jeff Todd | October 18, 2019 at 11:26am CDT

The Brewers announced today that they have agreed to a one-year, MLB contract with righty Deolis Guerra. Terms were not announced.

Guerra, 30, was outrighted to Triple-A earlier this season and chose not to elect free agency at the time. Having previously been outrighted, however, he had the right to take to the open market instead at season’s end. Instead, the sides lined up on a new deal.

The Milwaukee organization obviously didn’t see fit to bring Guerra back onto the roster down the stretch. But his strong showing at Triple-A obviously impressed the club. The out-of-options reliever will still need to show well in camp to keep his roster spot, but he now seems to have the inside track on a bullpen job in 2020.

Guerra had a solid 2016 effort in the majors with the Angels, but otherwise hasn’t been able to hold down a MLB role. He was shelled in his lone outing last year at the game’s highest level, but excelled at Triple-A. In 66 2/3 innings over 45 appearances for the Brewers’ top affiliate, Guerra pitched to a 1.89 ERA with 11.9 K/9 and 2.2 BB/9.

    Interesting. Could be one of those relievers that surprise you in the pen. Excited to get Bobby Wahl and Knebel back this coming season. Arms like those were missed down the stretch and put tons of pressure/innings on Haders arm. Maybe find a deal to bring Pomeranz back–he was unreal for us. The real victory is that the Brewers are DONE with Albers!!!

      Put up another a Wild Card “winner” banner…still no championships. Perfection is hard.

        Wild Card still means they make the playoffs Einstein and as the Nationals have shown this year, just get in and anything can happen. Do you guys have a manager yet?

          wildcard means you were the best worst team to get in no one should be excited by that.. if a wildcard birth got everyone excited then why are the As always bottom of the league in attendance…

          They still get in don’t they? Using your definition the Nationals are the second worst team to get in? And the A’s are always near the bottom in attendance because they play games in that dump called the Coliseum. Bad example.

        Furthermore, please keep reminding us about 2016.

      It’s these small, irrelevant signings that can often put a team over the top. I’m sure everyone in DC was yawning when Howie Kendrick was acquired. Now look.

    More marginal players for the Brewers

      those marginal players have gotten us to 2 straight playoff appearances and a win away from the WS. Brewers are a good team and seem to find undervalued players that turn out solid sometimes. Low risk sign why being a hater?

        Low risk only of he doesn’t cost a good prospect a 40 man spot.

        Brewers are cheap and just keep throwing random pitchers at the wall and seeing who sticks instead of actually investing in starting pitching. Im a brewers fan trust me it’s getting tiring

          Please tell us which arms Stearns should’ve “invested in”.

    • 2id

      Yes because everyone knows the key to constructing a playoff team is to sign All Stars at everything position, like Machado, Kimbrel, and Harper

      The trick is to collect a bunch of so-called marginal players at league minimum…some of the division rivals pay marginal pitchers $25 or even $43 million each…and then pretend that the whole season will be a “turn back the clock” year..
      Sterns has an amazing ability to grab guys who make surprisingly important contributions at little cost..

        always easier to have a guy flame out that costs a million over the dude on a 3 year deal making over 50 million aka Craig Kimbrel lol

          This. Imagine how crippling a contract like Kimbrel’s would be to a small market team like the Brewers. If they don’t pan out the Crew can absorb the cost. People rip on Braun’s contract but he’s still contributing

          No need to imagine. I’ve got two words for you: “Matt Garza.” 4 years/$52 million and the best that bum ever did was a .500 season.

    possibly some upside for the league minimum

    At first didnt really didnt think I cared for this deal just because we do have a decent amount of rule 5 eligible players to protect but I guess there is nothing wrong with starting the offseason plans right now and getting ahead of others. Just as long as Albers Buffett night never happens

    He was one of the main players traded to the Twins in the Johan Santana trade with the Mets

    I thought that Guerra pitched decently for the Pirates several years back,
    He was.the type of low grade ML player that they needed this year with all of the injuries that they had when they brought out the mediocre AAA relievers.

    He’ll be better than anyone here expects with his excellent K/BB in 2018 and 2019.
