Sadzeck

Sadzeck last appeared in the big leagues for the Brewers during the 2022 campaign. He made 25 appearances last year for Triple-A St. Paul in Minnesota’s minor-league system before being cut loose in mid-July. The 32-year-old righty provides Pittsburgh with some extra minor league relief depth.

Sadzeck was released last week, presumably to pursue an opportunity overseas in either Japan or Korea, but that has yet to be confirmed. The 31-year-old righty has made 35 appearances (two starts) in the majors since the 2018 season.

Sadzeck made a pair of relief appearances last season for the Brewers, his first stint in the majors since the 2019 campaign. The 31-year-old right-hander provides the Twins with some extra organizational relief depth. He posted a solid 2.20 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 56/20 K/BB ratio across 49 innings (41 appearances) last year at the Triple-A level.

Sadzeck chose to test the waters of free agency after refusing an outright assignment to Triple-A Nashville by the Brewers. He will provide organizational depth for the lowly Nationals for the remainder of the 2022 campaign.

Sadzeck will test the free agent waters after refusing an outright minor league assignment to Triple-A Nashville. The 30-year-old righty reliever went unclaimed on waivers after being designated for assignment back on July 25. He wound up making two relief appearances this year for the Brewers.

Sadzeck went unclaimed on waivers after being designated for assignment earlier this week and will remain with the Brewers as organizational relief depth. The 30-year-old righty has allowed three runs on four hits with a 2/1 K/BB ratio across three innings (two appearances) this season at the big-league level.

Sadzeck has allowed three runs on four hits with a 2/1 K/BB ratio across three innings (two appearances) this season. The 30-year-old righty reliever has made 35 relief appearances in the majors since 2018.

Sadzeck is back in the majors for the first time since 2019 after working to a dominant 0.96 ERA with 35 strikeouts through 28 innings this season at the Triple-A level. The 30-year-old righty will be available out of Milwaukee’s bullpen on Wednesday afternoon against the Twins.

No real surprises in the first batch of cuts from the Brewers. Sadzeck is the most notable inclusion, but was always expected to function as extra organizational relief depth this season. Whitley, a former first-round pick back in 2015, is another high-profile name in this group.

Sadzeck signed a minor-league contract with the Brewers back in August and will be in major-league camp to open spring training. He was extended an invite just before the league’s transaction freeze went into effect earlier this week. The 30-year-old righty hasn’t appeared in the majors since the 2019 campaign. He posted a solid 4.84 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 49/28 K/BB ratio across 44 2/3 innings at the Triple-A level last year.
