"shorter outing by design"

Wonder if this means they're going to turn him back into a reliever, at least until he develops a third pitch. He was dynamite in a middle relief role last season. Makes a ton of sense.

How close? Its Tuesday afternoon.

Kinda entertaining that you fall into this trap every year, in every sport. A good rule of thumb is to not post "rumors" from twitter handles that have 17 followers.

Yep, literally no one of credit has mentioned a thing about the Brewers being close to signing anyone.

Yeah, I'm going to start clamping down on these BS rumors. If you can't post a link to a verifiable source - even if it isn't 100% reliable - don't share BS. I'm not interested in seeing posts like "supposedly we are close to a pitcher" that has zero backing from anything.

Signing Gio is fine with me, but the pen is the bigger concern.
