Brewers Interested in Rodriguez

Sunday, Jan. 25

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Tom Haudricourt provided a report on the ongoing discussions between Rodriguez and the Brewers:

K-Rod enjoyed a tremendous season in his return to the permanent closer role in 2014, compiling a 3.04 ERA, a 0.99 WHIP, 73 strikeouts and 44 saves for the Brewers. 

His ERA and WHIP were both higher than Papelbon's, but Rotoworld's Matthew Pouliot suggested it may not be that simple: 

Of course, the 13-year veteran is one of the best players remaining on the free-agent market, and CoverThoseBases.com's Devan Fink reported there may be some competition for his services from the Los Angeles Dodgers:

Although agent Scott Boras is notorious for driving up prices, Rodriguez doesn't likely have much bargaining power this late in the offseason. 

Because of that, there's a good chance the 33-year-old could be had for minimal risk.
