The Brewers have signed right-hander Justin Grimm to a minor league contract, as per the club’s Twitter account. Grimm’s deal contains an invitation to the Brewers’ big league Spring Training camp.
Grimm bounced between the Indians, Dodgers, and Reds last season without appearing in the majors for any of the three teams, breaking a string of seven consecutive seasons of MLB action for the 31-year-old. Grimm pitched in 21 games (17 1/3 innings) for the Royals and Mariners in 2018, posting an ungainly 10.38 ERA while issuing 14 walks against only 11 strikeouts.
Best known for his days in the Cubs bullpen, Grimm had a 3.82 ERA over 235 2/3 innings for Chicago from 2013-17, including a 1.99 ERA in 2015. His performance tailed off in 2017, however, and between his 2018 struggles and even a lack of success at the Triple-A level in 2019, Grimm will need a big spring to win himself a job on Milwaukee’s Opening Day roster.
Grimm Reaper off the board.
Well this is a Grimm revelation.
this guy is such an enigma
No kidding, he looked like at one time was going to be a force in the bullpen for the Cubs for many years to come and all the sudden lost it and that was it. for him.
Is it just me or is Grimm a lesser version of Trevor Rosenthal? I mean… They can both throw VERY HARD and the have both fallen off in seriously dramatic fashion. The only difference is that Trevor Rosenthal Actually had a seriously good proven track record before he fell apart. Right? 10+ ERA equals no matter how hard you throw. I remember the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets had a releiver by the name if Neighborall that regularly hit 99+ and he was a no go in the majors even though he was younger and had a better recent history than these guys. Why would Grimm be considered considering he is older, throws slower, walks more people and as an ERA 4 runs higher?
Brewers taking stinky leftovers from 2016 Cubs. Where is their championship? Lol
and where is your “dynasty” every cubs fan told us was about to form?
If the standard is 108 years between titles the Brewers still have about 67 left to get their’s.
Bernie—you said between titles—-win your first title then you can start your “between” clock. Cubs won their first World Series in the 4th one played. Right now you are heading into year 52…..hopefully you can start your clock soon. You are 48 years behind the Cubs pace.
But don’t we get twice the time since u have twice the payroll? Lol
Oh I am not a Cubs fan. I am a Cardinals fan.
If you ever want to know that feeling when your team finally wins the World Series, you can reach out to a Cubs fan, we will love to share and explain that moment since the Brewers fans have never seen their team win won before.
It’s a what if. He has an outstanding spring he makes the team. A flyer on a minor league contract who cares.
Brewers chances in 2020 are looking Grimm.
Minor League deal. Can’t lose.
I don’t see a fairytale ending for this signing.
The Pied Piper of Milwaukee
Brewers are no threat to the Cubs in 2020………Brewers are a 4th place team.
Let’s invite the Astros back so they can be 6th nooooo lol
Unfortunately for you this is not a fact. Cubs are currently a 3rd place team as of last standing. That’s a fact.
I know it is hard to give up 2019 season and Yelich ending……just like It is very hard to live with the 2016 results !
Weren’t supposed to be either of the last 2 seasons. How’d they turn out?
Cubs aren’t a threat to anyone. Keep clinging to your 100 year moment of fame.
Justin Grimm, Neil Ramirez, CJ Edwards—all acquired in the same trade—all very, very valuable to the Cubs–all had “minor” injuries–none have made it back to anywhere near their productivity with the Cubs—even if that was fleeting…..
Do the Brewers know what they’re getting into? The Royals certainly didn’t after he had been ditched by the cubs! We gave up a good pitcher to add Justin. He ended up being DFAed in like july 2018. horrible signing!
It’s a minor league contract. You know what tgT means right?
no, what does tgT mean?
Where can Brewers fans see their team WS trophy ?
