Inside sources say that the signing of free agent reliever Javy Bermudez ended up being a bit more involved than the Denver front office anticipated and ended up being a bidding war between several clubs (among them, reportedly, Columbus, San Antonio, and Brooklyn) but in the end he did sign with the Brewers.
Admittedly, at probably a higher cost than he should have (a bit over 309K a year for 2 years). But with the retirement of 600K man Cheol-han Lee, and having drawn a WPK-best 3,311,347 fans last season, the Brewers have plenty of money to spend and really nobody to spend it on at this time. So the front office decided to go all in. And they got their man!
