Report: Brewers close to multi-year deal with Kyle Lohse

MILWAUKEE (WITI) -- MLB.com is reporting the Milwaukee Brewers are close to a multi-year deal with former St. Louis Cardinals right-handed pitcher Kyle Lohse.

MLB.com has confirmed that the proposed deal guarantees $33 million in base salary over three years. Lohse arrived at Maryvale Baseball Park at 10:30 a.m. MST for a physical exam.

MLB.com says the "Brewers will forfeit their first-round Draft pick -- No. 17 overall, which in 2012 was worth $2 million -- for signing Lohse, and the Cardinals will receive a compensatory pick later in the round, No. 28 overall. Neither club immediately confirmed the deal, pending Lohse's physical."
