Nick Hagadone turned down a minor league offer from the Cleveland Indians before signing with Milwaukee

Relief pitcher Nick Hagadone signed a minor league deal with the Milwaukee Brewers Thursday; 15 days after the Cleveland Indians opted not to enter arbitration with him. The deal Hagadone signed with the Brewers was a minor league contract with an invite to Spring Training--the exact same contract the Tribe offered him, according to Paul Hoynes.

Hagadone was officially DFA’d on December 2 by the Indians when they acquired Collin Cowgill from the Los Angeles Angels in exchange for cash, and became a free shortly after when the Indians did not tender him a contract for arbitration.
