Gallardo’s option picked up; Weeks’ declined

As expected, the Brewers committed to starting pitcherYovani Gallardo for another season by exercising his $13 million club option for 2015, and also exercised the team’s half of third baseman Aramis Ramirez’s $14 million mutual option. Ramirez has three days to accept or decline. At the same time, the Brewers declined an option on second baseman Rickie Weeks. His was a vesting option based on plate appearances that Weeks did not reach, so it became a club option instead.
