Closer Jose de los Santos, who became a free agent when the Brewers opted to buy out the last year of his contract, was signed today by the Philadelphia Mud Hens. Coming off the worst season of his otherwise storied career, the 36-year old de los Santos was signed to a modest 1-year, 66K deal.
With the signing the Brewers will now get a supplemental 1st round draft pick in the next year's amateur draft as compensation.
