Los Angeles found themselves wondering if their all-time leader in saves would return to the clubhouse or not. Don Mattingly and the Miami Marlins made a competitive offer on the All-Star.
The Washington Nationals also went all in on the relief pitcher but he decided to return to the only franchise he has ever played for.
