Brewers send Reds cash to finish Weathers deal

The Milwaukee Brewers sent cash to the Cincinnati Reds on Friday to complete their Aug. 9 trade for veteran reliever David Weathers. Weathers pitched in 25 games for the Brewers, going 1-3 with a 4.88 ERA. Overall, he was 4-6 with a 3.92 ERA in 68 relief appearances. The 40-year-old Weathers has a $3.7 million club option for 2010 on his contract with a $400,000 buyout. The Brewers have until 10 days after the World Series to exercise that option or allow Weathers to become a free agent.
