Breaking News: 11:26 P.M. EST: Multiple reports have now said that Hoffman and the Brewers have agreed on a 1-year deal.
The Milwaukee Brewers have apparently surpassed the Los Angeles Dodgers’ offer and a deal is in the making with ace closer Trevor Hoffman. The deal with the Brewers would most likely be for one year including an option for 2010.
Hoffman, 41, has tallied over 552 total saves for the San Diego Padres over the course of 16 seasons and is considered one of the best closers in the game.
ESPN reports that “Hoffman had a bitter separation with San Diego management in November, when the team withdrew a $4 million contract offer”.
The Padres have claimed they “just do not have the money”.
