Overview

• NESN's Tom Caron reported Friday that Boston is adding the eight-year reliever on a minor-league contract.
• Brebbia became a free agent after clearing waivers when the Braves designated him for assignment and he declined an outright to Triple-A Gwinnett.
• He is ineligible for the postseason because he was not in the Red Sox organization by the Sept. 1 cutoff.
• With Detroit having released him earlier in the season, the Tigers cover most of his remaining 2025 salary and any new team owes only the prorated league minimum if he reaches the majors.
• This season he has a 7.71 ERA over 23 1/3 MLB innings with Detroit and Atlanta, contrasted by a 1.89 ERA in 19 Triple-A innings for Gwinnett.
