The Braves got Payamps off waivers from the Brewers in late September, but he became a free agent after being outrighted earlier this month. Now he’s back at a $750,000 paycut from the $3 million he made last season. An excellent setup man for the Brewers in 2023 and ’24, Payamps got off to a poor start last season and spent much of the year in the minors. Still, his velocity was fine and his stuff-type numbers held steady, making him a decent bet to bounce back. Overall, he has a 3.46 ERA and a 160/44 K/BB in 156 innings over the last three years.

All will likely become free agents. Payamps, an excellent setup man for the Brewers in 2023 and ’24, struggled throughout last season and was designed for assignment by Milwaukee on Sept. 20. The Braves picked him up for the last seven days of the season, and he allowed one run in 2 2/3 innings. They might have some interest in bringing him back at a cut from the $3 million he earned in 2025.

Payamps, a terrific setup man in 2023 and ’24, has a 7.23 ERA in 23 2/3 innings this season, having spent most of the summer in the minors. The Braves presumably will give him a bullpen spot for the final six days of the season. They’ll also have his arbitration rights for 2026, but keeping him would mean paying him at least $2.4 million and probably closer to $3 million unless he’s willing to take the maximum paycut.

Payamps was list in the majors in May, and he was awful with an 8.35 ERA and 1.69 WHIP over 18 1/3 innings; leading to him being designated for assignment. He replaces Shelby Miller in the bullpen, and while Payamps has had success at the highest level, he’s not likely a high-leverage option for Milwaukee.

Payamps went unclaimed after his abhorrent start to the 2025 season saw the Brewers designate him for assignment. The 31-year-old could elect free agency but also now has the option to report to Triple-A and attempt to rejuvenate his career.
