John Brebbia: Everything you need to know

Brebbia signed a minor-league contract with the Rockies on Thursday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports. Brebbia inked an NRI deal with Colorado in December but failed to make the team out of spring training and was let go by the club shortly before Opening Day. Now back with the Rockies, the 35-year-old righty will look to make it back to the majors with an organization that doesn't boast much in terms of bullpen depth, though he will likely need to improve upon his 6.20 Triple-A ERA before drawing consideration for a promotion.

The Twins released Brebbia on Wednesday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports. Brebbia triggered the opt-out clause in his minor-league contract after the Twins decided not to promote him. The veteran reliever held a 6.20 ERA but a more promising 26:10 K:BB over 20.1 frames with Triple-A St. Paul.

Brebbia signed a minor-league contract with Minnesota on Sunday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports. Brebbia will report to Triple-A St. Paul, but given the unsettled state Minnesota bullpen, he may not have to wait long to get a look in the majors. Cut by the Rockies coming out of spring training, Brebbia, 35, owns a 4.04 ERA and 1.24 WHIP over 378.1 career innings in the majors across stops with St. Louis, San Francisco, the White Sox, Atlanta and Detroit.
