Before leaving the winter meetings Thursday in Nashville, Milwaukee Brewers general manager Doug Melvin said he was looking for "one more arm out there" for his bullpen.
He found that arm Friday.
Continuing to retool his bullpen after the losses of closer Francisco Cordero and set-up Scott Linebrink to free agency, Melvin acquired workhorse right-hander Salomon Torres from Pittsburgh in exchange for minor league relievers Marino Salas and Kevin Roberts.
Torres was the second veteran reliever officially added to the bullpen in two days. On Wednesday, the Brewers wrapped up a three-year deal with free-agent right-hander David Riske.
Torres, 35, had two stints on the disabled list in 2007 with elbow inflammation, and for the first time in four years did not make at least 78 appearances. In 56 games, he was 2-4 with a 5.47 ERA and 12 saves in 18 chances.
