PHOENIX -- Recent reports of the Brewers' interest in free agent starting pitchers have been "exaggerated," GM David Stearns said Thursday, which would be good news for the most accomplished of the six candidates vying for two open rotation spots.
Yovani Gallardo, the Brewers' all-time strikeout leader who is returning with hopes of rekindling his career, arrived Thursday in time for the first formal workout of Brewers pitchers and catchers. Coming off two tough seasons with the Orioles and Mariners, Gallardo is on a non-guaranteed contract and must rise to the top of a field that currently includes left-handers Brent Suter and Wade Miley, and right-handers Brandon Woodruff, Junior Guerra and Aaron Wilkerson.
