Webb has signed a minor-league deal with the Giants and will report to Triple-A Sacramento, Steve Adams of MLB Trade Rumors reports.
The 31-year-old was released by the Brewers last week after making just three appearances in spring training. Webb spent most of last season in the Rays' organization, where he posted a 5.19 ERA and a 1.73 WHIP over 18 relief appearances. He'll likely be limited to serving as organizational depth before having another shot at the majors.
Webb was released Wednesday by the Brewers.
Webb was only able to make three appearances with the Brewers in Cactus League play, which didn't provide adequate opportunity for him to seriously contend for a bullpen spot. The journeyman middle reliever has been steady, if unspectacular, in a setup role for much of his career, but after turning in a 5.19 ERA and 1.73 WHIP in 18 appearances with the Rays last season, Webb will likely have to settle for a minor-league contract first before getting another opportunity in the big leagues.
Ryan Webb has signed a minor-league contract with an invitation to Major League camp.
Ryan Webb spent the 2016 MLB season between the Rays and the White Sox minor league system. He had a 5.19 ERA and a 17/3 K/BB ratio over 17 1/3 innings of work with the Rays. Webb will look to earn a spot in the Brewers bullpen in Spring Training.
White Sox have released Ryan Webb.
Webb signed a minor league deal with the White Sox after being released by Tampa Bay earlier in the year. From 2009-2015 Webb posted a 3.35 ERA in relief appearances, but in 2016 he posted a 5.19 ERA that unfortunately led to his multiple releases. He'll head into the offseason as a free agent looking to sign on with a new club.
