Brewers sign reliever Green
Update at 4:45 p.m. CT: I’m hearing that Sean Green’s one-year contract with the Brewers pays $875,000. It’s non-guaranteed like most one-year deals.
The Brewers December spree continues:
The Milwaukee Brewers today signed free agent RHP Sean Green and re-signed INF Craig Counsell to one-year contracts. The announcements were made by Executive Vice President and General Manager Doug Melvin.Green, 31, missed most of last season while on the disabled list with a right intercostal muscle strain. He was recalled by the Mets on September 6 and did not record a decision in 11 relief appearances, posting a 3.86 ERA (9.1ip, 4er).Green owns a career record of 10-11 with a 4.36 ERA in 250 relief appearances during five Major League seasons with Seattle (2006-08) and New York (2009-10).A native of Louisville, Kentucky, Green attended the University of Louisville. He was selected by the Colorado Rockies in the 12th round of 2000 First-Year Player Draft.Counsell, 40, batted .250 with 2 HR and 21 RBI in 102 games last season.
