Several recent signings have diluted the available options for the Brewers to add a potential closer from the Free Agent ranks. Former Giants reliever Santiago Casilla moved across the bay to Oakland, signing with the A’s just yesterday.
So what’s left? Here are some names and my knee-jerk reaction to whether I’d like to see them in the Brewers’ pen, either as a closer or “just a guy”.
Travis Wood - L (Cubs): Wood dropped from 10.55 K’s per 9 in 2015 to 6.93 in 2016, and as a lefty was awful against left handed hitters last year.
