Brewers Nearing Deal For Trevor Hoffman
MLB Rumors - MLBTradeRumors.com — MLB.com's Barry Bloom and Adam McCalvy heard from a source that the Brewers are nearing a deal with Trevor Hoffman.  The AP says the same.  The deal would be for one year with an option for 2010 and is "pretty close" to happening according to the source.

Thursday's Frosty Mug
Brew Crew Ball — No opening joke today. So Ken Rosenthal and The Official Site are reporting that the Brewers are close to a deal with Trevor Hoffman. Oddly, one site is reporting Hoffman as being close to a deal with the Dodgers instead. Rumorville has been all over this. I'm still not sure I like the move. Sure, Hoffman gives the Brewers the cool entrance they've been lacking. (That entrance is so cool its sunglasses are wearing sunglasses.) But the team's biggest need (starting pitching) is still unaddressed while the Brewers braintrust is ...

Hoffman Deal Done
Brew Crew Ball — MILWAUKEE -- The Brewers have agreed to terms with free-agent closer Trevor Hoffman, acquiring the former Padres right-hander who's the all-time leader with 554 saves, his agent, Rick Thurman told MLB.com in a text message on Thursday morning. http://milwaukee.brewers.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20090108&content_id=3736591&vkey=news_mil&fext=.jsp&c_id=mil Posted on Brewers.com as of 10:43am, much like KLSnow  I'm happy the Brewers have done something about our ninth inning but am still much more concerned about improving our starting rotation. Although I'm looking forward to hearing "For whom the bell tolls" on Opening Day
