MILWAUKEE (AP) — Reliever Boone Logan and the Milwaukee Brewers have finalized a $2.5 million, one-year contract.

He is 29-23 with a 4.47 ERA and three saves in 619 relief appearances for the Chicago White Sox (2006-08), Atlanta (2009), the New York Yankees (2010-13), Colorado (2014-16) and Cleveland (2017).
Logan has a $1,875,000 salary this year, and the Brewers have a $2,125,000 option for 2019 with a $625,000 buyout.
He can earn an additional $3.2 million annually in performance bonuses, of which $2.2 million are for games and $1 million for innings.
