The Milwaukee Brewers needed to rebuild their bullpen around closer Josh Hader this past off season. The team added a few interesting pieces and will re-purpose a few internal options, but they didn’t really add a capable veteran reliever. The closest they got to upgrading their bullpen was bringing in journeyman right-hander David Phelps. Can Phelps really provide the Brewers with a bridge from the start to Hader?
How did Phelps come to the Brewers?
Phelps signed as a free agent on a one-year deal worth $1.5 million and comes with a club option for 2021.
