MILWAUKEE -- The Brewers' bullpen moved closer to completion on Wednesday when the team finalized a one-year Major League deal with left-hander Boone Logan and signed right-hander J.J. Hoover to a Minor League contract that includes an invitation to big league camp.
The duo joins a more familiar newcomer, former Brewers ace Yovani Gallardo, who last month inked a one-year contract and will first compete for a spot in the starting rotation before the Brewers consider him for the bullpen.
"I think we're open to adding, but I do think we've built some nice depth in that area with the guys coming back from last year and some of the guys we've added," Brewers general manager David Stearns said.
