Brad Boxberger Stats

The Chicago Cubs and right-handed relief pitcher Brad Boxberger agreed to a one-year deal worth $2 million on Thursday, according to sources familiar with the deal. The deal includes a $5 million mutual option for the 2024 season that comes with an $800,000 buyout. The 34-year-old became a free agent when the Milwaukee Brewers declined his $3 million option in November. Boxberger was solid for the Brewers in 2022, posting a 2.95 ERA, 1.23 WHIP, one save and 68 strikeouts in 64 relief innings over 70 appearances. He has 82 career saves in 11 major-league seasons, and there's a chance he could enter the saves picture in Chicago next year along with names like Brandon Hughes and Manuel Rodriguez.

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Brad Boxberger was asked to take the ball in the ninth inning during Friday's contest against the Cincinnati Reds. The Brewers were forced to use someone else in the ninth inning with Josh Hader out on the paternity list. Right-hander Devin Williams was expected to get the nod in the ninth, but instead pitched the eighth inning. Boxberger was a little shaky, but was able to convert the save on Friday. The right-hander does have closer experience, but is expected to slide back into a setup role once Hader returns.

The Milwaukee Brewers signed free-agent pitcher Brad Boxberger to a one-year, $2.5 million contract on Sunday. He returns to Milwaukee in 2022, where he will reprise his role as one of Milwaukee's top setup man for star closer Josh Hader. The 33-year-old posted a 5-4 record with a 3.34 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, and an 83:24 K: BB over 64 2/3 innings in 2021. He also chipped in 23 holds and four saves. Boxberger will provide solid ratios and mainly has fantasy appeal in league formats with the category solds (saves and holds).
