Peter Strzelecki signs with Brewers.
The New York Yankees released right-handed reliever Peter Strzelecki, and he’s latched on with a new team quickly.
New York signed Strzelecki to a minor-league deal on May 23, but the Yankees opted to release him on June 18. Now, days after being released, MLB insider Jon Heyman reported he’s inked a deal with the Milwaukee Brewers.
Peter Strzelecki, righty reliever, has signed a minor league contract with the Brewers. Will head to Nashville
“Peter Strzelecki, righty reliever, has signed a minor league contract with the Brewers. Will head to Nashville,” Heyman wrote on X.
Strzelecki signed as an undrafted free agent with the Brewers after the 2018 MLB Draft. He made his MLB debut in 2022 and was dealt to the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2023 for Andrew Chafin.
The right-hander spent half a year with the Diamondbacks before being dealt to the Cleveland Guardians before the 2023 MLB season. He was then dealt to the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2024, but never appeared in the big leagues before being released.
Strzelecki has since bounced around minor league deals with the Tampa Bay Rays, the Yankees, and now the Brewers again. This will be his third stint in Milwaukee. He’s appeared in three MLB seasons, going 5-6 with a 3.44 ERA in 77 games, and adds some depth to the Brewers system.
In the Yankees’ organization, he had a 7.71 ERA in 6 games over 4.2 innings, which led to his release.
