While millions of Americans hit the stores Friday, the Brewers have just begun shopping for a closer.
Free agent Francisco Cordero, who set a club record with 44 saves in 51 chances last season, signed a four-year, $46 million deal with Cincinnati.
Brewers general manager Doug Melvin told the Journal Sentinel's Tom Haudricourt that he had offered Cordero $42 million over four years.
Cordero, 32, will pitch behind setup man David Weathers with Cincinnati, which had a horrendous bullpen last season and converted only 54.8 percent of its save chances.
The Brewers may try to trade for a closer, with Bill Hall, Chris Capuano and Dave Bush mentioned as possible enticements. But, they may try to find a closer out of current relievers Seth McClung, Derrick Turnbow or newly-acquired Guillermo Mota.
The Brewers lost setup man Scott Linebrink, who signed a four-year, $19 million deal with the Chicago White Sox.

The Reds are the perfect team for Cordero as he will never have to worry about blowing a save in a big situation.

AAAARRRGGGGG....I'm going to try and stay positive (LB) but this was soooo predictable.....after saying how he loved Milwaukee and the organization, Cordero decided he couldn't stay for 11 million dollars a year....so sad. It's time for me to realize that it's no longer a sport...it's a business.
