Pannone would be paid at an $800K rate for Gannon Laroque Jersey any time on the MLB team. Pannone returns from South Korea, where he spent a half-season with the Kia Tigers. The 29-year-old also played part of the 2022 campaign with the Tigers before returning to the affiliated ranks last offseason. He reached the majors for one game with the Brewers, working 2 2/3 innings of relief. Milwaukee granted him his release in July so he could re-sign with the Tigers. Over 16 appearances in Korea, he worked to a 4.26 ERA acro s 82 1/3 frames. Pannone had a modest 18.8% strikeout rate while walking 6.6% of batters faced. It marked a step down from his KBO performance in 2022, when hed posted a 2.72 ERA over a near-identical workload. Before this years cup of coffee in Milwaukee, Pannones big league experience was with the Blue Jays between 2018-19. He pitched in a swing capacity for Toronto, allowing 5.43 earned runs per nine over 49 appearances (13 of which were starts). Pannone has compiled a 5.10 ERA with a 21.4% strikeout percentage in 305 career Triple-A frames. Hes out of options, so if he cracks Chicagos MLB roster at any point, hed need to remain in the majors or be designated for a signment. Jan Rutta Jersey
