Bradley has decided to retire from baseball Thursday, Roch Kubatko of MASN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bradley, a 2011 first round draft pick, was working at Double-A Bowie this season before he decided to call it quits. The 26-year-old made a brief appearance in the majors last season with the Braves, though he struggled to a 5.14 ERA across six games (seven innings). He owns a combined 4.47 ERA and 1.50 WHIP across seven minor-league seasons (511.1 innings) with the Brewers, Braves and Orioles.

Bradley was reassigned to minor league camp on Wednesday, MASN's Roch Kubatko reports.
EDGE Analysis
He was competing for one of the final spots in the Orioles' bullpen, but it didn't take long for him to be sent packing. Bradley moved between Double-A, Triple-A and the majors last season with the Braves and Brewers, and should spend a good chunk of 2017 at Triple-A for the Orioles.

Bradley will compete for a left-handed specialist role on the team's Opening Day roster, Britt Ghiroli of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Buck Showalter said Wednesday that the team could break camp with three southpaw relievers, and the current options include Bradley, T.J. McFarland and Donnie Hart. The Brewers' first-round pick in the 2011 Draft is probably the underdog in the position battle, but Bradley will be motivated by the prospect of making his first Opening Day roster. He owns a 4.34 ERA over five minor league seasons, and as a left-handed specialist, could be in line to pick up a handful of holds if he breaks camp with the O's.

Bradley received an invitation to major league spring training Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Baltimore claimed the former first-round draft pick back in October, and it seems like they want to see how he holds up against major leaguers even after outrighting him prior to the Rule 5 draft. Bradley's performance across five minor league seasons has been average at best, although his experience as both a starter and a reliever could help him garner some attention from the big league club over the spring if he performs well.

Bradley was outrighted off the 40-man roster on Tuesday, MASN's Roch Kubatko reports.
EDGE Analysis
He was claimed off waivers a month ago, but the Orioles have decided to clear his spot on the 40-man roster in advance of the Rule 5 Draft and free agency.

Bradley was claimed off waivers by the Orioles on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Bradley was a first-round draft pick back in 2012, but his results in the minor leagues over the years have been average at best. That being said, the left-hander is only 26 years old and pitched well as a starter between Double-A and Triple-A this past season, so the Orioles decided to take a flier on him. He has experience both as a starter and as a reliever, so he could fill a variety of roles at the upper levels of the Orioles system next season. To make room for him on the 40-man roster, Paul Janish was designated for assignment.

Bradley will be used from the bullpen with Atlanta, David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bradley has played in three games with Triple-A Gwinnett, all of which were starts. He's done well in said outings, as he posted a 1.50 ERA and 1.39 WHIP across 18 innings. However, before arriving at Gwinnett, Bradley had played 32 games between Double-A Biloxi and Double-A Mississippi with only 10 being starts.

Bradley was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday, David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
With rosters expanding, Bradley will join the Braves for the first time in 2016 after splitting the minor league season between Double and Triple-A. Bradley holds a cumulative 3.09 ERA across 35 appearances (13 starts) to go with a 1.36 WHIP.

Bradley is being converted to a reliever, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Bradley was selected 15th overall in the 2012 draft as a starting pitcher, but his professional results have been average at best, and the Brewers now want to see what he can do pitching in relief. Bradley reached the Double-A level last season, but it remains to be seen where his 2015 campaign will begin.

Brewers prospect LHP Jed Bradley took another step in the right direction Tuesday, allowing one run on five hits with five strikeouts in six innings for High-A Brevard County.
Bradley is back at Brevard County for a third tour after two dismal showings at the level in 2012 and 2013. The 23-year-old left-hander allowed seven runs on nine hits in 4 1/3 innings in his season debut, but since then he's strung together a trio of promising starts in which he owns a 1.06 ERA and 16/1 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 17 innings. If Bradley can get back on track this season, it would serve as a huge boost to a Brewers system that's thin on upper-level arms.
