The Milwaukee Brewers have reached an agreement on a five-year, $80 million deal with Lorenzo Cain, according to a source.

"... The chance to come home like that, so to speak, meant a lot. That's the team that drafted me, developed me. I got my first hit with them, my first home run. It means a lot to go back there. I want to win."

Cain's new contract is for the longest term and biggest payout of any free-agent deal this offseason.
