January 7, 201610 yr Rotoworld.com FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports that the Brewers have signed free agent first baseman Chris Carter to a one-year, $2.5 million contract. Carter was a surprise non-tender by the Astros leading up to the Rule 5 Draft in early November. He was linked as a possible Indians' free agent target following his hitting the open market, but their interest cooled off. The Brewers shipped Adam Lind to the Mariners in early December, which leaves a first base opening for the 29-year-old to fill. While he's slugged 61 homers over the last two seasons, his all-or-nothing approach routinely leads to a ton of strikeouts and lopsided triple-slashes. To whit, he hit just .199/.307/.427 in 460 plate appearances in 2015. Source: Ken Rosenthal on TwitterJan 6 - 6:28 PM

January 7, 201610 yr Why trade for a LaRoche when you can just sign Chris Carter for that. No wonder we had zero takers leaguewide

January 7, 201610 yr One of those national beat guys called it the biggest bargain this offseason...and Pedro Alvarez is still out there on the market as well.
