| December 24, 2006 Jeff Suppan has reached a preliminary agreement with the Brewers on a four-year deal that would pay him $42 million, according to the AP. The contract won't be finalized until Suppan passes a physical. "He gives us a big-game pitcher. He's shown that last year," Brewers general manager Doug Melvin said. |
| December 21, 2006 The Brewers have formally made a four-year offer to free agent Jeff Suppan, according to the AP. Suppan is not expected to sign a contract until after Barry Zito signs, as that transaction could boost his value. |
| December 20, 2006 Mets officials met with free agent Jeff Suppan Wednesday, according to the AP. It is not known if the Mets offered Suppan a contract. The reigning NLCS MVP, Suppan has drawn interest from many teams, including Colorado, Houston, San Francisco, Pittsburgh and Kansas City. |
| December 19, 2006 Brewers GM Doug Melvin is still deciding whether or not to offer a specific contract offer to free agent pitcher Jeff Suppan, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. "I'd say it's a possibility," said Melvin. "I haven't done anything yet. We're still discussing it and looking into it." Suppan supposedly has a four-year offer on the table from one of the following teams: New York Mets, Colorado, Houston, San Francisco, Pittsburgh and Kansas City. |
| December 15, 2006 Brewers general manager Doug Melvin said Thursday that he will put together a proposal to Seth Leventhal, the agent for free agent Jeff Suppan, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. "He's still a productive pitcher, and he's a durable guy," Melvin said. "He has won 44 games the past three seasons. He has a good work ethic and he has pitched in some big games. He'd be a good influence on our other pitchers." Other rumored suitors of Suppan include the Giants, Mets, Rockies, Pirates, Royals and Cardinals. |
| December 12, 2006 Jeff Suppan's agent said that the Cardinals seem uninterested in bringing the pitcher back, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "The Cardinals appear to be exhausting every other resource imaginable for starting pitching to not jump into the fray for Soup," said Suppan's agent, Scott Leventhal. "The writing is on the wall. Based on that, we don't consider St. Louis one of the markets we're looking at. We've set our sights elsewhere. We haven't counted them out entirely. We have not closed the door. But realistically speaking, it seems they've set their sights on every other thing." The Pirates and Royals have shown interest in the veteran right-hander. |
| December 2, 2006 Although Jeff Suppan was offered arbitration by the Cardinals yesterday, but he's not expected to accept the offer, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. He likely will be able to swing a free agent contract approaching $10 million. "I'd love to have Suppan back for a one-year deal," GM Walt Jocketty quipped. "But I don't expect that to happen." |
| October 11, 2006 Wednesday's rain out of Game 1 of the NLCS could result in Jeff Suppan starting Game 3 instead of Game 2, according to the AP. "I don't know what's going to happen. They didn't really say anything yet," Suppan said before the postponement. "But as far as my preparation, it would be the same as if it wasn't getting rained out." |
