Brewers Add Fast-Arm Richardson

Milwaukee Brewers bolster their bullpen with a savvy minor league pickup: Lyon Richardson, a former second-round draft pick and 2023 MLB debutante, signed a minor league deal after being DFA’d by Cincinnati. At just 26, Richardson boasts a fiery fastball averaging over 96 mph, a solid strikeout rate, and a career 6.67 ERA — though his best season (2024) came with a 4.54 ERA in 37⅔ innings. With key relievers sidelined and a recent trade, Richardson’s addition provides crucial depth and fits Milwaukee’s track record of developing arms. The Brewers hope he can become another success story in their system. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
