Brewers open up quick series in New York

Many were taken aback when the New York Mets traded Francisco Rodriguez to the Milwaukee Brewers last season.

Brewers bullpen must get stronger in middle

MILWAUKEE Brewers manager Ron Roenicke knew there probably wasn't any use in having this meeting. He had talked with setup man Francisco Rodriguez enough times both in Milwaukee and in their years together with the Angels to know that he should expect the same answer to the usual question he asks all of his relievers. But as he does every day, he met with Rodriguez on Tuesday...

Dodgers' Dee Gordon draws pitcher's attention

MILWAUKEE The Dee Gordon effect was evident in the eighth inning Wednesday night, as Milwaukee Brewers reliever Francisco Rodriguez could attest. With the score tied and Gordon having just stolen second base, Rodriguez spun three times and threw behind Gordon to second baseman Rickie Weeks, just to keep the speedy Gordon the potential go-ahead run closer to the bag. Milwaukee...

Should the Mets have extended Francisco Rodriguez?

One of the main goals of the 2011 Mets was to make sure that Francisco Rodriguez’ $17.5 million option did not vest for 2012. The option would kick in once Rodriguez finished 55 games. Manager Terry Collins utilized Rodriguez like any other manager would use his closer and by the All-Star break, Rodriguez had finished 34 games and was well on his way to having his 2012 salary...

Marcos Grunfield was first to report that the reliever is expected to accept (Twitter link).

What Happens if K-Rod Accepts Arbitration?

If Francisco Rodriguez accepts arbitration tonight by 11:00 p.m. CST, most fans assume the Milwaukee Brewers will be stuck paying his $13 million salary for the 2012 season. This could be a devastating blow to the Brewer’s chances of signing a player of significant importance during free agency. Fortunately, there is a loop hole that will get Milwaukee out of this predicament if...
