The Milwaukee Brewers have reportedly signed free-agent catcher Gary Sánchez to a one-year contract, adding another power bat to their roster. Sánchez, who had a strong season with the San Diego Padres in 2023, represents an upgrade at the backup catcher spot for the Brewers. The team also announced the signing of pitcher Jakob Junis to a one-year deal. These signings come after the Brewers traded away Corbin Burnes.
The Brewers signed right-hander Jakob Junis to a one-year contract worth $7 million and traded left-hander Ethan Small to the Giants for cash considerations. Junis, who previously played for the Giants, is expected to bolster the Brewers' rotation after a successful 2024 season. His effectiveness has been attributed to an increased use of his slider but struggles with his sinker. The Brewers' strong defense could further improve Junis' performance. Meanwhile, Small, a former first-round pick, failed to develop as a starting pitcher and was designated for assignment by the Brewers.
The Milwaukee Brewers are set to sign free agent right-handed pitcher Jakob Junis to a one-year, $7 million deal, pending a physical. Junis is expected to join the team's starting rotation after a strong showing as a multi-inning reliever for the Giants last season. His improved performance was attributed to an increase in velocity, particularly on his slider, although he has been more effective against right-handed hitters. The Brewers' rotation has undergone changes, and Junis will join a mix of pitchers with varying performance and injury concerns. The signing brings the Brewers' payroll projection to around $105 million, leaving room for potential additional acquisitions. Junis will aim to establish himself as a starter before becoming a free agent again next year.

The San Francisco Giants defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 7-5 in a game that featured a bizarre play in the bottom of the 11th inning. Giants pitcher Jakob Junis, who had never recorded a save before, faced three batters and struck out Freddie Freeman to clinch the win. However, the second out of the inning came on a strange play where a pop-up turned into a 29-second debacle for both teams. Despite the confusion, the Giants were able to get an important out and secure the victory.
