Lefty relief options shrinking for Brewers
A pair potential Brewers targets fell off the open market on Day 3 of the Winter Meetings on Wednesday when left-handed relievers Sean Burnett and Randy Choate chose new homes and further shrunk the Brewers’ options for that area of need.
Burnett, who signed for two years with the Angels, and Choate, who got three years (!!!) from the Cardinals, were among a number of lefty relievers under consideration by the Brewers, who created a need by nontendering Manny Parra last week.
Among the free agent lefties still available are Mike Gonzalez, Tom Gorzelanny, J.P. Howell, Will Ohman and Hideki Okajima.
But general manager Doug Melvin said that as of Wednesday afternoon, he had yet to make any offers.
