Brewers Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 22:49:19 PST

The Brewers are kicking the tires on so many free agent pitchers, their shoes already are getting worn out.

The latest name to surface as a possible target is Carl Pavano. The right-hander's agent, Tom O'Connell, confirmed he had informal talks with Brewers general manager Doug Melvin about his client.

"He's definitely on their radar," O'Connell said.

O'Connell wouldn't reveal the years or money he is seeking for Pavano but anticipated speaking with Melvin again at the winter meetings in Indianapolis, Dec. 7-10. The market for pitchers always moves slowly, so it makes sense to think nothing much will happen before those meetings.

"It's a solid market (for Pavano), but teams always take the 'wait and see' approach," O'Connell said.
