The Milwaukee Brewers may lose a seasoned pitcher this winter, among other important players.
For the 2024 season, the Brewers re-signed veteran pitcher Colin Rea, who pitched 32 games, including 27 starts, with a 4.29 ERA. During his MLB career, Rea spent three seasons with the Brewers, although he is currently a free agent.
Zachary Rymer of Blecher Report projected that he would not return, but it is uncertain if he will. According to his prediction, Rea would ultimately sign an offseason contract worth $8 million with the Detroit Tigers. “Rea is fresh off ranking second on the Milwaukee Brewers in innings,” Rymer stated. “He placed in the 81st percentile for walk rate, demonstrating his usual great control. Rea has a problem with the long ball, but it might not be as bad if he signs with a side whose home stadium is more accommodating. At least one squad fits that criteria at the back end of its rotation, but not all of them have room for him. signs a one-year, $8 million contract with the Detroit Tigers.

- This would be a significant bump for Rea, who earned $4.5 million with the Brewers in 2024. It wouldn’t be stunning if the Brewers let him walk if this turns out to be his price tag. Rea’s future will soon be one of the decisions Milwaukee must make.
