Some Brewers signing notes

Brewers avoid arbitration with Corey Hart according to NY Post
BREWERS SIGN CORY HART

By JOEL SHERMAN


The Brewers signed outfielder Corey Hart for $3.25 million, avoiding arbitration, the Post has learned.

Hart also can earn $50,000 for being an All-Star, $25,000 for the Silver Slugger, $25,000 for Gold Glove, $25,000 for being LCSMVP, $50,000 World Series MVP, and $1000,000 for being the MVP. He would received $75,000 if he finsihed second in the MVP voting and $50,000 for third.

The Brewer I most wanted to do well, Eric Gagne, has been re-signed for this season, though only to a minor league deal with a non-roster invite to Spring Training.
It's on the JSOnline.com Brewers Blog.

Not only did he really seem to be a different guy after time off late mid-season for an injury, but the guy is another veteran presence on a young team. We can only begin to hope that some our players learn to be half the civic citizen and presence that Gagne is. He led the team last season in charitable donations.

Great move on Hart - now we just need to long-term deal with him. Gagne seems like a great guy but when he's costing you games, it's another story. I guess since we don't have better options at RP at the moment, Gagne stays. I wish him the best, for the sake of the Brewers.
