    The Milwaukee Brewers have agreed to a one-year deal with right-handed relief pitcher Takashi Saito.

    Saito was 2-3 with a 2.83 ERA in 56 appearances for the Atlanta Braves last season. He has a 17-13 career record with a 2.19 ERA in five major league seasons with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Boston and Atlanta.

    The 40-year-old native of Japan also has 84 career saves, including 81 with the Dodgers from 2006-08.

    Saito, who is expected to fill the setup role for closer John Axford, joins a radically remade Brewers pitching staff.
