The deadline to tender contracts to arbitration-eligible players is on Friday, and entering today the Milwaukee Brewers had decisions to make regarding the cases of 13 players. That number is now officially down to 12, as this evening the club announced that they have agreed to terms with Erik Kratz on a one-year deal:

The Brewers acquired Kratz, a career journeyman who turns 39 next June, last May in a deal with the Yankees for a player to be named (later, Wendell Rijo).
