Marlins Manager Don Mattingly Contacted Dodgers Free Agent Kenley Jansen

While the Winter Meetings roll along and near their conclusion, Aroldis Chapman and Kenley Jansen remain among the more prominent players still on the open market. That’s of particular interest to the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Though, they’re joined by the Miami Marlins, New York Yankees and Washington Nationals in pursuit of an elite closer. The San Francisco Giants were also part of that picture, but signed Mark Melancon to a four-year contract to address their need.

The Marlins inclusion came as somewhat of a surprise, considering their spotty history in free agency. Miami is said to prefer Jansen to Chapman, which can be tied to manager Don Mattingly’s history with Jansen in Los Angeles.
