Bryan Scott Corey (born October 21, 1973, in Thousand Oaks, California) is a Major League Baseball right-handed pitcher who currently plays for the Boston Red Sox.
Originally selected by Detroit Tigers in the 12th round of the 1993 MLB amateur draft, he was converted from a position player to a pitcher by the Tigers in 1995. Corey would make his Major League Baseball debut with the Arizona Diamondbacks after being selected in the 63rd round of the expansion draft.
After his short stint with the Diamondbacks in 1998, Corey has been a AAA journeyman, playing for AAA affiliates of the Arizona Diamondbacks (1999), Detroit Tigers (1999), Oakland Athletics (2000), San Diego Padres (2001), Los Angeles Dodgers (2002-03), Chicago Cubs (2004), Florida Marlins (2005), and Texas Rangers (2006). In addition he pitched in the Japan Central League with the Yomiuri Giants in 2004.
On June 19, 2006, Corey had his contract purchased by the Texas Rangers to pitch in the bullpen but was designated for assignment by the Rangers on July 25, 2006 after posting a 1-1 record with an ERA of 2.60. On July 30, 2006, Corey was traded to the Boston Red Sox for minor league pitcher Luis Mendoza, but he was again designated for assignment after pitching 1 inning for the Red Sox, giving up a solo home run.
Corey was a member of the inaugural Arizona Diamondbacks team that began play in Major League Baseball in 1998.
