"Brigham (who turns 34 in February) is a veteran of six Major League seasons, with 120 2/3 innings pitched over 94 total games with the Marlins, Mets, and Diamondbacks. Three of Brigham's six seasons included four or fewer appearances, including his work with Arizona in 2025 - the righty posted an 8.10 ERA over four games and 3 1/3 innings."
"Brigham has a career 4.85 ERA, with a 10.7% walk rate and an inflated home run rate contributing to his uninspiring ERA. The right-hander has had trouble keeping the ball on the ground in the big leagues, though his 23.8% strikeout rate is respectable. Over 191 2/3 career innings at Triple-A, Brigham has a 4.09 ERA, 30.27% strikeout rate, and 10.7% walk rate, with much better grounder rates but still some issues at limiting the long ball."
Jeff Brigham, a right-handed reliever who turns 34 in February, signed a minor league contract with the Chicago Cubs that includes a Spring Training invite. He has six Major League seasons and 120 2/3 innings across 94 games with the Marlins, Mets and Diamondbacks, and missed significant time due to injuries, last pitching after being released in August while on the minor league injured list. Brigham struggled in 2025 with an 8.10 ERA in four MLB games and logged 21 2/3 innings across 18 Triple-A appearances. He faces stiff competition for a bullpen spot and is out of minor league options.
