PHOENIX — Francisco Rodriguez will be jogging out of the bullpen again for the Milwaukee Brewers.

The closer and the Brewers agreed Thursday to a $13 million, two-year contract, a deal subject to the successful completion of a physical.

“One of the things we focused on was the depth in our bullpen, and bringing back a closer who’s very durable put everybody back into a natural spot,” Brewers owner Mark Attanasio said. “It actually turns a bullpen which may have been looked at as thin into a bullpen that has some depth when you go through it.”

The 33-year-old Rodriguez revived his career last season, when he converted 44 of 49 save chances. Rodriguez went 5-5 with a 3.04 ERA, with 73 strikeouts and 14 home runs allowed in 68 innings.

“We got a lot better,” catcher Jonathan Lucroy said. “Frankie has been good for us in the past; he was good for us last year. Hopefully, he can continue to do that this year. We’ve got some depth now. Hopefully, everybody can stay healthy.”

Adding bullpen help, especially an experienced closer, was an off-eason priority for general manager Doug Melvin.
