Arrow Brewers, Kapler agree to one-year deal

The Official Site of The Milwaukee Brewers: News: Milwaukee Brewers News

Quote:
MILWAUKEE -- Brewers general manager Doug Melvin was unimpressed by the available free-agent outfielders, so he pushed somebody else in the pool.

The Brewers on Thursday drew outfielder Gabe Kapler out of retirement, agreeing to terms on a one-year, non-guaranteed contract that pays $800,000 if Kapler makes the roster. Kapler, 32, managed a Class A affiliate of the Rex Sox last season but announced near the end of the season that he intended to attempt a comeback.

"He knows he has to come in and win a job," said Melvin, who conceded the Brewers have a bit of a crowd in the outfield. "I don't think this was about the money for him. It was about getting a chance to play again."
