Passan reported further information.
Barring a change, Kenley Jansen is not expected to make his choice between the Marlins and Dodgers until Thursday afternoon. So go to bed.

Jansen has spent his entire career with the Dodgers recording over 180 saves. Former Dodgers manger Don Mattingly is currently with the Marlins as well catcher A.J. Ellis so it could be a reunion of sorts.
Los Angeles is expected is try and retain their all-time leader in saves but the market is heating up after Aroldis Chapman signed with the New York Yankees last night.
