Brewers: Should The Team Re-Sign LHP Gio Gonzalez?

When the Milwaukee Brewers decided to gamble on their young starting pitchers going into the 2019 season, they left themselves with very little in terms of insurance if they failed. Two of the three did fail in the rotation, which put the team in a precarious position.

But luckily the New York Yankees, who signed Gio Gonzalez to a minor league deal in spring training, decided not to call him up as he reached his opt out date and Gonzalez became a free agent again. Shortly thereafter, the Brewers picked up the phone, called Gonzalez, and got him to Milwaukee on a one year deal worth $2 million guaranteed, plus possible incentives.
