The Brewers have offered a four-year contract to free-agent pitcher Jeff Suppan. The offer is for between $36 million and $40 million.
Suppan, a 31-year-old right-hander, was 12-7 with a 4.12 ERA for St. Louis last season and was 1-1 in four postseason starts. Suppan has a career record of 12-2 with a 3.29 ERA against Milwaukee.
Suppan was brilliant in helping the St. Louis Cardinals beat the New York Mets before the team went on and swept Detroit in the World Series. He pitched eight shutout innings to win Game 3, then allowed one run over seven innings in Game 7, which the Cardinals won 3-1 on Yadier Molina’s ninth-inning homer.
