It's Official: Wolf Signs With Brewers To $29.75M Deal

[JHOHL27]

Ed Price of AOL Fanhouse reports the Brewers are closing in on a three-year deal with free agent left-hander Randy Wolf.

If true, it's an impressively bold move by the Brewers and GM Doug Melvin. Wolf is one of the more sought after pitchers on a weak free agent market this winter and has drawn interest from some of baseball's top spenders. The 33-year-old went 11-7 with a 3.23 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 160 strikeouts this season with the Dodgers. He would immediately bring a bit of respectability to a Brewers staff that posted a 4.83 team ERA in 2009.

This would defanantly help the Brewers pitching staff.

I heard that he's gonna be breaking the bank tho n comparison to what he's really worth. So i question them on that part if true.

[T-Core]

The Brewers have officially announced their signing of free agent lefty Randy Wolf to a three-year deal with a club option for 2013. As I reported last week, the deal is worth $29.75 million guaranteed.

The Brewers are introducting Wolf to local media today at 3 p.m. at Miller Park. Here is a statement from GM Doug Melvin:

"With the success that Randy has had over the last two years, we believe that he will provide us quality innings and starts. "His experience, passion to win and wanting to be a Brewer fit the criteria in what we were looking for to improve our pitching staff."

Wolf, 33, went 11-7 with a 3.23 ERA in a career-high 34 starts with the Dodgers last season. He produced a career-high 24 quality starts, tying Cliff Lee for the most of any lefthander in the majors. He held opponents to a .227 batting average, which ranked eighth in the NL and marked his lowest since 2002 (.223).

Even though he is kind of old this is great for the Brewers. The Brewers problem in the past is the starting pitching rotation. With adding Wolf I think that improves their rotation a little and might make them one step closer of becoming a playoff team in 2010.
