I'm wondering if Milwaukee panicked a bit with the Gagne signing. I realize they probably do not want to have to go into the season with Turnbow closing, but there is still some time left in the offseason to make some sort of deal. It appears they overpaid for Gagne mainly to limit the length of his contract. If they would have been willing to go atleast 3 years they could have probably gotten him for a little over $20 million, but the fact they only when 1 year at that dollar amount shows me they really wanted someone else to close. But Gagne? You would've thought they could have done better someway.
