Jake Arrieta is one of the top pitchers available on the market today, and the Milwaukee Brewers is in need of someone like him. The Brewers is rebuilding the team and its No. 1 priority is pitching. Rumors suggest the Brewers would sign Arrieta the 2018 MLB season.
The Milwaukee Brewers had a previous connection with Jake Arrieta, it turned out. The team drafted the 31-year-old in 2004 as a prep player. However, Arrieta did not sign with the Brewers. He started his professional baseball career with the Baltimore Orioles three years later and debuted with the team in the big leagues in 2010. Now that Arrieta has entered free agency, the Brewers are reportedly eyeing to acquire him, according to Brew Crew Ball.
While Arrieta reached the high echelon of pitchers in the past, his performance somehow dipped this 2017, so there’s a risk in signing him. In the most recent season, he made 30 starts, threw 168 1/3 innings, recorded a 3.53 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, 7.8 percent walk rate, and 23.1 percent strikeout rate.
