Bobby Dalbec, once a promising rookie with the Boston Red Sox, faces challenges after being designated for assignment by the Chicago White Sox. Despite his initial success, posting a 149 OPS+ in 2020, he struggled thereafter and eventually elected for free agency following a brief stint with the ChiSox. Signed to a minor-league deal with the Milwaukee Brewers, Dalbec hopes to revive his career in Triple-A Nashville. However, with strong competition at first base, his path to the MLB remains uncertain, despite an impressive .326 batting average early in 2025.
Bobby Dalbec, who posted a 149 OPS+ during that shortened season, was never able to recapture the magic in Boston - and departing the system didn't help either.
Dalbec was signed to a minor-league deal by the NL Central-contending Brew Crew, where he'll report to Triple-A Nashville.
The Brewers aren't exactly short on slugging first basemen at the MLB level, and just pulled the plug on the Vinny Capra experience.
Thus far in 2025, the 29-year-old Dalbec is hitting a robust .326 with a 1.050 OPS and four homers in his first 46 at bats.
