Dodgers Re-Sign Brandon League

Wait what?

Coletti is an idiot. Jansen is the better pitcher, so he should be the closer.

True, but unfortunately Jansen has some obvious and potentially life threatening health issues.

I think this was a good deal, and more importantly, a necessary one.

Actually it kinda makes sense to have your best pitcher available at any point in the game as opposed to only the 9th inning, that said I still want Jansen to close

Brandon League, ACES client, gets $7.5 mil a year from Dodgers as well as a vesting option.

Not sure who to believe

[KobeOwnSU]

so basically we traded the contracts of Rivera, Coffey, and Treanor for League...I'll take that.

[B.G.B]

Am I the only one that doesn't like this deal?

Brandon League's contract includes a vesting option for 2016 at $7.5M. The option vests if League finishes 55 games in 2015.

Thank u Ned colletti for paying the **** out of me

[dodgerdave]

Having two closers is a great problem to have.

[Krush]

It's not our money; who cares how much they paid him. BTW we are not getting Greinke, so quit bringing it up. It's not going to happen.

Exactly. As a Giants fan, I wish Jansen would remain the closer. You want your best reliever to pitch in tie games in the 7th or 8th instead of 2 or 3 run leads in the 9th. Yes, a worse reliever will blow more 9th inning saves, but pitching your best reliever earlier an inning or 2 earlier will give you more save opportunities. It's just not smart to designate your best pitcher to a role where anybody could do the job.
