The Boston Red Sox have added a veteran pitcher to their depth.
According to NESN's Tom Caron, the Red Sox have signed pitcher John Brebbia to a minor league contract. This comes after the 6-foot-1 righty was released from the Colorado Rockies organization earlier this week.
This is a cool opportunity for Brebbia, as he is a Massachusetts native. He will now be looking to impress on this minor league deal in hopes of landing a call-up and getting the chance to play for his hometown team.

Brebbia appeared in three games this season for the Rockies, where he allowed two home runs and five earned runs in 4.1 innings pitched. He has spent most of this season in Triple-A, though, where he has recorded a 1-1 record, a 4.14 ERA, and 45 strikeouts in 28 appearances.

With this move, the Red Sox have added a pitcher with a good amount of MLB experience to their depth. In 379 career games over nine MLB seasons split between the St. Louis Cardinals, San Francisco Giants, Chicago White Sox, Atlanta Braves, Detroit Tigers, and Rockies, Brebbia has posted a 16-22 record, a 4.12 ERA, and 416 strikeouts.
Overall, there is no harm in the Red Sox taking a chance on Brebbia with this minor league contract. It will be interesting to see if he can earn a call-up to their major league roster before the season is over from here.
