On Thursday multiple media reports announced free-agent pitcher Matt Garza agreed to a four-year, $52 million contract with the Brewers. But the Brewers issued a statement Thursday night which denied the reports.
“Despite media reports, negotiations between the Brewers and Matt Garza are ongoing, but there is no deal yet,” the Brewers’ statement read.
The 30-year-old Garza is coming off a season in which he split time with the Chicago Cubs and Texas Rangers. After missing the first seven weeks of the season with a strained left lat muscle, Garza pitched 155.1 innings compiling a 10-6 record, 3.82 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 136 strikeouts.
