CONNOR BROGDON NEWS

Grabs MLB deal from Guardians The Guardians signed Brogdon to a one-year contract Wednesday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Impact Brogdon made 43 appearances for Cleveland in 2025, putting up a 5.55 ERA and 49:18 K:BB over 47 innings. Slated to turn 31 next month, Brogdon hasn't had much success at the big-league level since 2022, but the Guardians felt the right-handed reliever was worthy of a major-league deal.

Credited with victory in relief Brogdon (2-1) picked up the win over the Rangers on Monday, allowing one run on two hits with out strikeout over 1.1 innings in relief.

Fans two in perfect relief outing Brogdon struck out two batters in one perfect inning of relief against the Red Sox on Tuesday.

Impact The contest was tight throughout, and Brogdon helped preserve a 3-3 tie when he breezed through a 1-2-3 frame in the seventh.

During that span, Brogdon has posted a 6:1 K:BB and allowed just three hits across 6.2 frames, though he hasn't seen much high-leverage work and doesn't yet have any holds or save chances.

MiLB deal with Halos The Angels signed Brogdon to a minor-league contract Wednesday, Taylor Blake Ward of The Sporting Tribune reports.

Impact Brogdon made a total of just 18 appearances between the majors and minors in 2024 due to a foot injury, although he ended the season healthy. The righty reliever flashed some bat-missing ability with the Phillies from 2020 to 2022 with a 25.1 percent strikeout rate.

The Dodgers dropped the 29-year-old righty from their 40-man roster Thursday, and rather than stick around as organizational depth, Brogdon will now explore his options in the open market.
