Colten Brewer: Hits free-agent market

Brewer elected free agency Monday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Brewer passed through waivers unclaimed after the Cubs removed him from their 40-man roster, but he'll test out free agency rather than accepting an outright assignment. The right-handed reliever held a 5.66 ERA and 22:9 K:BB across 20.2 frames in 2024.
