Brewers get Garza for 4 years 52m (4 for 50 Official)

[pdiddy]

I'd like a team full of NAVY SEALS.

The pitching staff would own the inside of the plate. No one would have the guts to rush the mound if they got hit by a pitch.

Headed to #BrewersOnDeck today. If they don?t announce Garza deal, I?ll assume snag was elbow/incentives/insurance until I hear otherwise.

WOW. What a huge embarrassment for the Brewers! Clearly a classless organization and I bet after this NO AGENT WILL EVER WANT TO TALK TO THE BREWERS AGAIN!!

Plus they signed that steroid freak to a horrible contract. They pay attention to none of the details.

Evidently, the Brewers are getting language that will have Garza pitch for free like Lackey if the wheels come off.

#Brewers owner Mark Attanasio announces club is in agreement with Matt Garza. Four-year deal needs final approval from MLB, MLBPA.

Matt Garza - S - Brewers

Brewers signed RHP Matt Garza to a four-year, $52 million contract.

There was an unspecified hiccup that delayed the official announcement of the deal a few days, but it's obviously been ironed out. Garza, 30, posted a 3.82 ERA and 136/42 K/BB ratio over 155 1/3 innings last season between the Cubs and Rangers. As long as he can remain healthy, he's a nice addition to what now looks like a pretty good Brewers rotation.

The language must be outside the normal structure in the CBA. must be bonus/health related.

4 years 50m base, 1m in incentives every year, 13m vesting option for 5th year.

And that wasn't the case with Tyler Colvin?

Garza gave up 2 million. There is a fifth year vesting option as well.

4 years 50 million is the official deal.

Announced it at the team's On Deck event, similar to the way Duquette will announce signing Santana and Burnett at Fanfest.

Man, that is exactly what we need: 2 starters. That would be so very awesome.
