Baseball Rumor News

MLB.com reports that the Milwaukee Brewers have signed Julian Tavarez. The pitcher, who was recently released by the Red Sox will be added to the Brewers bullpen. It had been rumored that Tavarez might be traded to the Rockies, but no deal was ever worked out, so the Sox had no choice but to cut him.

Tavarez won’t be the answer to the Brewers pitching problems. He will see action out of the pen, but what they really need is a boost to the starting rotation. While I doubt that Milwaukee is done beefing up the pitching staff, they would be mistaken to think their problems are solved with the addition of Tavarez.
