After the top two remaining relief arms on the free agency market in Josh Hader and Robert Stephenson signed with new teams on Friday, the Chicago White Sox have made their move to bolster their bullpen. According to Jon Morosi of MLB Network, the White Sox are signing veteran right-handed reliever John Brebbia. According to Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times, Brebbia's contract is a one-year deal. Brebbia, 34 in May, is coming off a very solid two-season stretch with the San Francisco Giants that saw the righty perform in a swing role. Over the course of 2022-23, Brebbia appeared in 116 games while making 21 starts, with 32 walks and 101 strikeouts over 106.1 innings. Brebbia's signing aims to bring some big league experience and stability to a bullpen that has bid farewell to many of its' contributors of the last two seasons. Keynan Middleton, Kendall Graveman, Joe Kelly and Reynaldo Lopez were shipped away in midseason trade deadline moves, while Aaron Bummer was traded to the Atlanta Braves near the start of the offseason. Beloved closer Liam Hendriks hit the free agency market, and while he is expected to miss the vast majority of the 2024 season, it does not look like a reunion with the White Sox is in the cards. Therefore, Brebbia's presence complements Gregory Santos as the two surefire arms the White Sox have in their bullpen entering the 2024 season, with a plethora of internal options, including many with some big league experience, to fill out the depth chart as things stand today.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
