David Stearns and the Milwaukee Brewers decided they couldn’t wait to figure out if Jimmy Nelson had anything left after working his way back from shoulder surgery and elbow problems, non-tendering him to bring an end to what was once a promising Brewers career.
It looks like another contender — in fact, THE contender in the National League over the last few years — is willing to take that chance.
Nelson is reportedly signing a one-year deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers with a vesting option for a second year, according to Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times.
