Latest News about Randy Wolf, Latroy Hawkins and Milwaukee Brewers

The Milwaukee Brewers have money to spend in free agency and they dropped a bunch of it on two pitchers Wednesday.

Left-handed starter Randy Wolf and the Brewers have agreed to a three-year contract worth $29.75 million, major league sources tell ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney. Wolf's contract contains a fourth-year option, sources said.

Later in the day, Milwaukee agreed with right-hander reliever LaTroy Hawkins on a two-year contract worth $7.5 million.

Wolf, 33, was 11-7 with a 3.23 ERA this year in his lone season with the Los Angeles Dodgers. He had a $5 million base salary and earned $3 million in performance bonuses based on innings.

Wolf also was a free agent last offseason. He agreed to the deal with the Dodgers on Feb. 6, about 1½ months after Houston offered a $27 million, three-year contract and then withdrew the proposal a week later, citing the poor economy.

Hawkins, a 14-year veteran, made 65 appearances with Houston last season and was 1-4 with a 2.13 ERA and 11 saves.
