Lyon Richardson’s MLB dream hit a snag after just one appearance for the Brewers, who outrighted him to make room — and now he’s a free agent with a curious path ahead. A 2018 second-rounder originally drafted by the Reds, Richardson’s career has been a rollercoaster of minor league stints and brief major league flashes. Despite a solid ground ball rate and promising bullpen stats since 2025, his big-league ERA and shaky strikeout/walk ratios kept teams at bay — 29 clubs passed on him at waivers. With no clear path to the majors and most likely headed back to Triple-A Nashville, Richardson’s next move could be his biggest yet: either retool in the minors or test the free agent market — where his value might be more about potential than polish.
