Even though Ryan Madson, Francisco Cordero and Brad Lidge remain available in free agency, much of the recent closer talk has been regarding?trade possibilities. Now perhaps Brandon League can be added to the list of available closers that includes Andrew Bailey and maybe Joel Hanrahan.
According to FOXSports.com, the Mariners are getting hits on League and may choose to move him closer to spring training. Such a move could hinge on the Mariners? pursuit of Prince Fielder; if the Mariners land Fielder, they may prefer to keep League and make the?club as competitive as possible. If not, then there?s really no sense of having a $5 million?closer on a 65-win team.
FOXSports reports that the Dodgers are one of the teams that have asked about League, though they?re not believed to have serious interest.
League will be eligible for free agency for the first time after next season. He had a 2.79 ERA and was 37-for-42 saving games for Seattle in 2011, his first year as a closer. He won nine games and finished with a 3.42 ERA in 79 innings in 2010.
