and now for some extra rejoicing…….. Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal 3m Source: #Orioles sign free-agent SS Alex Gonzalez to minor-league contract with invitation to major-league spring training.
Uecker just announced he is cutting back his schedule this year. Heard it on TMJ. He is doing all home games and selected road games…not sure who will team with Block when he is off…..
Everybody can relax now...... Andrew Gruman @AndrewGruman 22s RT @Ken_Rosenthal Source: Free-agent IF Yuniesky Betancourt has reached agreement with Japan’s Orix Buffaloes.
If the Big Unit reports it...pretty good chance it's [expletive deleted].... Tom @Haudricourt 2m Here's what held up #Brewers deal with Garza: Agreeing on payouts of deferred money and working out details of vesting option in 2018.
They aren't going to go 5 years 75 million for Jimenez......come on.... I seriously doubt they will give up a draft choice 2 years in a row. My fear too. If this falls through we can welcome Ubaldo Jimenez and his 5 yr/$75M contract to Milwaukee.
Again no mention of any medical issue right now......brewers might be trying to cover themselves in case he misses significant time... can't blame them for that considering Garza's history.... http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/241893921.html
Melvin trying to sign as many as he can and hope somebody wins the job.... Mike Vassallo @MikeVassallo13 21s The #Brewers have signed 1B Lyle Overbay to a minor-league contract with an invitation to Major League camp.
Adam McCalvy @AdamMcCalvy 1m I overstated "to be everyday first baseman." Reynolds is signing a Minor League deal & will be looked at for 1B, but must earn spot.
As far as Brewer fans are concerned I might vote for Gary Sheffield........he was such an immature jerk that we had to get rid of him without benefitting from his great talent.
and Paul Blair...one of the best center fielders ever RIP ESPN Stats & Info @ESPNStatsInfo 25m Former MLB outfielder Paul Blair has died. Blair won 8 Gold Gloves in 17-season career and played in 6 World Series' (winning 4 of them)
Tom @Haudricourt 2m I just got confirmation of Seattle's offer to Corey Hart: $6 million guaranteed and chance to get to $13 M. #Brewers topped out around $8 M.
