The Brewers are unlikely to bring back Eric Gagne, reports Adam McCalvy of MLB.com.
Gagne, who turns 34 in January, told reporters at a charity event last week that he would like to make one more bid for the majors as a starting pitcher, but he should cross at least one of his former teams off his list. "I don't see that," Brewers assistant GM Gord Ash wrote in an e-mail. Gagne hasn't pitched in the majors since 2008 with Milwaukee, but he posted a 4.65 ERA in 17 starts as a player-coach with the Quebec Capitales of the independent Can-Am League. He has expressed a willingness to open the season in the minor leagues. |
