Chafin’s deal includes an additional $1.25 million in incentives for 2024 as well as a 2025 club option worth $6.5 million with an additional $1.25 million worth of incentives. The left-hander split time as a relief option with the Arizona Diamondbacks and Milwaukee Brewers in 2023, posting a 4.73 ERA while also registering eight saves in 63 relief appearances between the two clubs. Chafin will likely slot into a regular middle or late-inning role as part of a Detroit bullpen led by returning closer Alex Lange for manager AJ Hinch this upcoming season.

The Milwaukee Brewers have declined their club option on left-hander Andrew Chafin.

Chafin's pricey $7.5 option was likely to be declined after a down season in 2023. The southpaw worked to a 4.73 ERA between the D-backs and Brewers after posting a healthy 2.83 ERA with the Tigers in 2022 and a sterling 1.83 ERA between the Cubs and A's in 2021.

Brewers reliever Andrew Chafin has been added to the club's active roster ahead of Thursday's game against the Pirates.

The veteran reliever was acquired prior to Tuesday's trade deadline from the Arizona Diamondbacks but is enduring a down season. The left-hander owns a 4.19 ERA in 43 games after posting a 2.83 mark with the Tigers last year and a 1.83 figure between the Cubs and A's in 2021.

The Arizona Diamondbacks have traded left-handed relief pitcher Andrew Chafin to the Milwaukee Brewers.

Fantasy Impact

Chafin's second stint with the D-backs was a brief one as he worked to a 4.19 ERA across 43 appearances with the club this season, notching eight saves in the process. The southpaw has been one of the better left-handed relievers in the league over the last two seasons, posting a 1.83 ERA between the Cubs and A's in 2021 before tossing a 2.83 ERA in 64 outings with the Tigers last season.

Andrew Chafin imploded in relief for the Diamondbacks Saturday, allowing three runs on four hits while failing to record an out in the ninth inning in an 8-7 win over the Nationals.

Fantasy Impact

Chafin continues a solid stretch at the back end of the bullpen for the Diamondbacks despite Saturday's implosion, holding opponents scoreless in his previous six relief appearances prior to Saturday. The left-hander will continue to be the primary option in closing situations out of the Arizona bullpen for fantasy managers, posting a career-high 14.92 K/9 ratio to go along with five saves and a 1.34 WHIP in 16 relief appearances so far this season.
