The Milwaukee Brewers have reached an agreement on a minor league deal with left-handed pitcher Thomas Pannone, as reported by Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. The BHSC client will join the major league camp as a non-roster invitee for the 2025 spring training.
Second Stint with the Brewers This will mark Pannone’s second stint with the Brewers. He was previously with the organization in 2023. Though his overall Triple-A track record may not stand out, Pannone has shown impressive performance against non-MLB competition in recent years. In 2023, he posted a 2.70 ERA over 53 1/3 innings with the Brewers’ Triple-A team. Additionally, he spent parts of the 2022-23 seasons playing for the KBO's Kia Tigers, achieving a combined 3.49 ERA across 165 innings. Most recently, Pannone recorded a 3.54 ERA over 152 1/3 innings split between the Triple-A affiliates for the Cubs and Yankees in 2024, with a 21.9% strikeout rate and a 5.9% walk rate. Competing for a Spot Pannone will head to camp with the Brewers, where he will compete for a rotation spot or a long relief role. He is fully stretched out and built up, ensuring that workload will not be an issue if the Brewers need to utilize him as a starter between their Nashville and Milwaukee rosters. However, it's notable that he is out of minor league options, meaning if he is added to the 40-man roster at any point, he would have to stick with the team or be placed on waivers. Pannone's return to the Brewers highlights the team's ongoing efforts to bolster their pitching depth as they prepare for the upcoming season. Fans will be watching closely to see how he performs in spring training and whether he secures a spot on the major league roster.
