Brewers Eye Rockies' Senzatela for Bullpen Help
4 Aug
Summary
- Brewers pursuing pitcher Antonio Senzatela from Rockies.
- Senzatela, a reliever, shows strong performance metrics.
- He's had career challenges including Tommy John surgery.
As the 2026 MLB Trade Deadline approaches, the Milwaukee Brewers are reportedly making a strong push to acquire relief pitcher Antonio Senzatela from the Colorado Rockies. Senzatela, a 31-year-old right-hander, has transitioned effectively into a full-time reliever role this season.
In his first full year as a reliever, Senzatela has demonstrated significant improvement, achieving a 9-2 record with a 3.61 ERA over 52 1/3 innings. His arsenal, including a fastball that now reaches 97 mph, sinkers, and cutters, is being evaluated outside the unique environment of Coors Field.
Senzatela's career has been punctuated by challenges, including a torn ACL in 2022 and Tommy John surgery in 2024. In 2025, his ERA had risen to 6.55. However, the Rockies' new front office committed to using him as a reliever for 2026, a strategy that appears to be paying off. Senzatela is currently earning $12 million in 2026, with a $14 million team option for 2027.
