Tim Brown reports on Yahoo Sports that the Brewers are close to what is expected to be a one year agreement with free agent closer Eric Gagne.  The Brewers recently acquired David Riske who is likely to be their eighth inning set up, with Derrick Turnbow and Salomon Torres taking up the earlier innings.

Gagne earned $8.5 million in 2007 with Texas and the Red Sox. It is not yet known what the financial terms are for his deal with the Brewers.
