The Milwaukee Brewers and Dan Kolb agreed Wednesday to a $2 million, one-year contract, a month after Milwaukee reacquired him from Atlanta.
Milwaukee allowed Kolb to become a free agent Dec. 21, a move that ensured he would not be eligible for salary arbitration.
Brewers general manager Doug Melvin said the team is confident the 30-year-old can return to his form of 2003 and 2004, when he had 60 saves and a 2.55 ERA with Milwaukee. Kolb is expected to serve as a setup man for Derrick Turnbow.
