The Brewers reportedly agreed to a one-year deal with reliever Braden Looper on Monday. Milwaukee general manager Doug Melvin said that the deal has yet to be finalized, and there is rumored to be an option for the 2010 season in the agreement. "A physical is part of the deal," said Melvin, who added that he was "optimistic" that Looper would be pitching for the Brewers this season. The deal is expected to be worth around $5 million for this season.
