The Sox announced their one-year, $5.5 deal with right-handed reliever John Brebbia that includes a mutual option for 2025 and designated infielder/outfielder Romy Gonzalez for assignment to make room on the 40-man roster Friday.

Gonzalez, 27, the Opening Day starter in right field last season, was hampered by a shoulder injury and appeared in 44 games with the Sox in 2023, hitting .194/.208/.376 with three home runs.

Gonzalez has played second base, shortstop and third base and all three outfield positions.

The Sox will have a week to trade Gonzalez or pass him through waivers.
