With several hurlers leaving the organization via free agency or non-tender so far this winter, the upper-level pitching depth for the Milwaukee Brewers could be considered dangerously thin, at least at this point in the offseason. The club made a small move to try and help rectify that situation earlier this afternoon, announcing a minor league pact with veteran right-hander Justin Grimm. The deal includes an invitation to big league camp in Spring Training.
Grimm, 31, was a fifth-round pick of the Rangers back in 2010 and he has appeared in parts of seven big league seasons with Texas, the Cubs, the Royals, and the Mariners.
