Eric Peddy, whose major league career seemed to be over, signed with the Milwaukee Brewers, which boasts the strongest power.

Milwaukee graphically announced on Club X's account on the 28th (Korea time) that it signed a one-year contract with Pedi and posted the phrase "Welcome, Erick!"

He built a new nest in the Major League three days after being released from the Atlanta Braves on the 25th. Milwaukee is the No. 1 winning percentage in both leagues with 83 wins and 50 losses until the previous day.




Milwaukee also placed closer Trevor Megill on the 15-day IL due to a right elbow injury. Megill, who has 30 saves and a 2.54 ERA, is uncertain to return for the rest of the season.

It is not yet known what position Feddy will take at Milwaukee, but it seems unlikely that he will be in a major position such as starting or finishing.

For now, Peddy will wait in the bullpen for an away game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Milwaukee's starter was Keen Priest, but he decided to take another day off, leaving left-hander Aaron Asheavy as an opener and Peddy as a long relief.

Peddy, who was included in the opening rotation with the St. Louis Cardinals this season, continued to throw jagged pitches throughout the season, failing to show the same ace-level skills as last year. In the end, it was traded to Atlanta after passing the DFA on the 28th of last month. However, Atlanta also showed sluggish performance with one win and two losses and an 8.10 ERA in five games, and packed up again in less than a month.

His performance this season is 125 innings, 4-12 losses, 5.76 ERA, 60 walks, 76 strikeouts, WHIP 1.57 and a 0.279 hit rate in 25 games. At this level, it is difficult to stick to the big league mound.

He re-entered the big league by signing a two-year, $15 million contract with the Chicago White Sox last year after being named MVP in the KBO League in 2023. The first season of his return was satisfactory. He actually played an ace role in the White Sox, the weakest team in the Major League, and moved to St. Louis through a triangular trade at the end of July last year. St. Louis, who was in a postseason fight, wanted Peddy. But St. Louis slumped at the fall baseball threshold, and Peddy ended the season with 31 games, 177 ⅓ innings and a 3.30 record. And then it began to take a downward path.




Pedi's annual salary this year is $7.5 million. This was compensated by Atlanta immediately after its release. In Milwaukee, only the lowest salary in the Major League is paid.
