Julian Tavarez To Sign With Brewers
MONDAY: Tom Haudricourt reports that the Brewers are set to sign Tavarez for bullpen depth.
SUNDAY: The Boston Globe's Nick Cafardo writes that Bartolo Colon, a close friend of Julian Tavarez, said Tavarez told him that he would prefer to pitch for the New York Mets. Tavarez was recently DFA'd by the Red Sox and elected free agency rather than accepting an assignment to Triple A Pawtucket.
Tavarez could make sense for the Mets in many roles. Jason Vargas and Matt Wise have been ineffective in limited use, while Mike Pelfrey has been very inconsistent over the first two months of the season. The Mets, however, have yet to indicate whether they have interest in the veteran right-hander. Baseball Prospectus' John Perrotto has the Orioles and Brewers as the top suitors; I hadn't heard Baltimore in the mix until now.

when you're as bad as tavaras has been since 2005, do you still get to pick what team you want to play for?

Julian Tavarez is glorious and every team in baseball should take it as a privilege to have him on their roster.

Correction: Jason Vargas has not been on the major league roster this year. I think you mean Claudio Vargas who only had 1 bad outing. Wise has been limited because of an injury. The real problem is Aaron Heilman.

Baltimore!? That cannot possibly be true.
