Brewers confirm. 

Love Samardzija, but did the math and I can't afford to resign him.
Collins is a serviceable bat for depth, which I am lacking.  I still believe in rondon and am looking forward to seeing him return to form next year, as he puts more distance between him and his surgery.  balog is not going to set the world on fire, but is a decent prospect.  and I can use all the picks I can get my hands on. 
had to move quickly, not a lot of time for a lot of back and forth, but I'm happy.

thanks rockies
