League resigns with Dodgers

Saint Louis graduate and 2010 All-Star closer Brandon League has agreed to a three-year contract worth 21.3 million dollars with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

League was traded to Los Angeles from Seattle at the July 31st trade deadline this season, moving form the franchise in which he had saved 37 games and been an American League All-Star in 2011. League had fallen out of favor in Seattle prior to the trade, and was demoted from his closer role due to notching 6 blown saves and a 3.63 ERA with the Mariners in 2012.

The 29-year-old pitched better in the friendly confines of the National League West, posting a 2.30 ERA, 27 strikeouts, a 1.13 WHIP, and 6 saves in 27.1 innings with the Dodgers.

League tweeted this afternoon: "It’s official! Couldn’t be more proud and happy to call LA my home for the next 3 years! Looking forward to seeing everyone this spring."
