Brewers To Sign 3B Aramis Ramirez To Three-Year Contract

The Milwaukee Brewers will sign free-agent third baseman Aramis Ramirez to a three-year contract, a source has told ESPN.com.

Ramirez, 33, had a bounce back year in 2011 by hitting .306/.361/.510 with 26 home runs and 93 RBI in 149 games for the Chicago Cubs.  The Brewers were reportedly interested in adding a power bat due to the potential loss of Prince Fielder to free agency, and Ryan Braun to a major PED suspension.

The Los Angeles Angels, Chicago Cubs, and Philadelphia Phillies were also reportedly interested in his services.
