Brewers reach deal with reliever Boone

[January 16, 2018]    The Milwaukee Brewers reached agreement on a one-year contract with left-handed reliever Boone Logan, contingent on him passing a physical exam, multiple media outlets reported Friday.

MLB.com reported that Logan's deal is for a guaranteed $2.5 million in 2018 with a team option for $4,125,000 in 2019.

Logan, 33, had a season-ending strain to his pitching shoulder last season, when he appeared in 38 games for the Cleveland Indians. The side-arm specialist was 1-0 with a 4.71 ERA.

He became available when Cleveland declined its $7 million option on Logan for 2018.

Logan, who has played for five teams in 11 seasons, struck out 28 batters and walked nine in 21 innings last season, appearing almost exclusively against left-handed hitters. He has posted a 29-23 record and three saves with a 4.47 ERA for his career.
