A Brewers spokesperson wouldn't confirm that the sides had reached terms, but multiple media reports indicated a deal was in place. Yahoo! Sports was the first to report, via Twitter, that Wolf and agent Arn Tellem had accepted Milwaukee's offer. Other reports followed, including one in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, saying Wolf is guaranteed about $29 million. Other reports on the value of the contract's first three years ranged from $27 million to $30 million.

When finalized, it would be the second-richest pitching contract in Brewers history to Jeff Suppan's four-year, $42 million deal that expires after next season.

Any agreement wouldn't be official until Wolf has passed a physical.

he had a nice season last year, good move by the Brew Crew.

fwould have loved to see him stay with the dodgers.

but for $30 mill over 3 years? dude is obviously not a big game pitcher

his shit is weak in my opinion, last year was like his only outstanding year he's ever had

Dodgers need pitching but not at the price for that type of pitcher... Brewers can have him

back end starters getting 10MM/year is the norm.

besides, there are reports saying he woulda signed with us for 2 years / 14-16MM. wolf is no doubt worth that. ESPECIALLY when we only have three pitchers with guaranteed spots in the rotation.

I never understood the hype for Wolf. A mediocre injury prone pitcher coming off a career year spells trouble to me.

^^LOL there is no "hype" around Wolf at all, just some people pointing out that it would make sense for a team in need of pitching to offer Wolf 6-8 million a year for a couple years. That is completely reasonable, I assure you that Randy Wolf is one athlete that doesn't have a lot of hype around him.
