"Trevor Hoffman has agreed to another one-year contract with the Milwaukee Brewers, for 2010 -- and he and the team also have a mutual option for 2011, according to ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney. Hoffman, who turns 42 next week, had 37 saves and a 1.55 ERA with the Brewers this season, pushing his career saves total to 591, a major league record. He'll earn $8 million next season, and Hoffman and the Brewers will share an option for another deal in the 2011 (ESPN)."
Hoffman has had a good year for the Brewers and he definitely proved that he can still be affective. It is amazing what this guy has been able to do at his age (37 saves 1.83 ERA). 8 million is a lot of money, but you have to think that this contract will now set the market for closers this offseason.
