Jake Brentz survived the 40-man roster purge. He turned 29 in September and has thrown less than six innings since the beginning of 2022.

The #Royals DFA’d younger and healthier guys to keep him. Perhaps they believe the 2021-version is still in there.

Officially intrigued.

One thing I really liked about watching Julius Brentz, for a 6’3” corner he moves like a 5’11” corner. Saw it on full display at the senior bowl. Doesn’t have super long movements which is good when it comes to transitioning in and out of breaks.
