 Axford was a combined 7-7 with a 4.45 ERA for Milwaukee and St.
Louis last season, but he was 1-0 with a 1.74 ERA after the
Cardinals acquired him in a late-August trade. He made six
appearances in the postseason and allowed a run in 5 2-3 innings. He
struck out nine.
The 30-year-old Axford led the Brewers with 46 saves in 2011 but
lost the closer role a year later.
Teams had until midnight to offer 2014 contracts to unsigned players
on their 40-man rosters. [Associated
