  • The Brewers declined Rea's $5.5 million club option for 2025 on Monday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. Rea passed through waivers unclaimed, and now the Brewers will pay him a $1 million buyout as he heads into free agency. The right-hander held a 3.70 ERA heading into September this season, but he posted an 8.31 ERA that month and didn't appear for Milwaukee during the postseason. Rea shouldn't have trouble landing a rotation job somewhere this winter.

  • Brewers' Colin Rea: Placed on waivers
    By RotoWire

    The Brewers placed Rea on waivers Saturday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. Rea has a $5.5 million club option for 2025 with a $1 million buyout. It appears the Brewers are willing to move on from the 34-year-old righty, but they will first make him available to the other 29 clubs via waivers before paying the $1 million that would send him to free agency. Rea finished the 2024 season with a 4.29 ERA and 1.26 WHIP, but he surrendered 20 earned runs over 21.2 frames during his six starts in September.

  • Rea (12-6) was saddled with the loss Sunday, allowing five runs on 10 hits, three walks and a hit batsman over 5.2 innings against the Brewers. He struck out five. Rea worked past four innings for the first time since Aug 24, but he allowed a season-high 14 batters to reach base. With the Brewers set to host the Wild Card Round of the playoffs starting Tuesday and Rea likely on the outside looking in when it comes to their playoff rotation, he was asked to eat some innings, with the quality being less important than the quantity. The veteran righty finished the regular season with career-high marks in innings pitched (167.2), strikeouts (135) and wins (12).

  • Brewers' Colin Rea: Starting on Friday
    By RotoWire

    Rea will start Friday's game versus the Diamondbacks, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. Rea's last appearance came in relief Monday, and since the Brewers previously hadn't committed to a starter for Friday, the right-hander looked like he could end up sticking in the bullpen for the rest of the season. Milwaukee will ultimately turn to Rea to fill the fifth spot in the rotation on three days' rest, though he's still likely on the outside looking in for a starting role during the postseason. Rea holds a 6.82 ERA over his last seven appearances (six starts).

  • Rea is not listed among the Brewers' probable starters for their upcoming series versus the Diamondbacks and could be shifted to a relief role ahead of the postseason, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. Rea's last start came Sept. 11, when he was blasted for 10 runs over four innings in a loss to the Giants. He then threw 2.2 scoreless innings out of the bullpen to pick up a save in Monday's win over the Phillies. The Brewers don't currently have a starter listed for Friday, and it's possible Rea will wind up taking the ball that day on three days' rest. Even if he gets another start or two down the stretch, Rea looks on track to fill a relief role during the postseason. He's posted a 6.82 ERA over his last seven appearances (six starts).
