The Milwaukee Brewers announced that the 2009 club option for manager ned Yost has been exercized.
Yost guided the Brewers to an 83-79 record last season, finishing in second place in the National League Central Division. Last year marked the Brewers' first winning season since 1992, when the team was 92-70.
Brewers general manager Doug Melvin said the move was made after the end of the last season but the Brewers forgot to make a public announcement.
