5/31 21:18: According to Joe Capozzi of the Palm Beach Post, the Marlins are considering a re-union with Dontrelle Willis. A person with knowledge of the situation confirmed “mild interest” in Willis, but it’s a subject that is being debated by the front office.

5/31 20:15: It doesn’t look like Dontrelle Willis will return to the National League East. According to Joe Capozzi of the Palm Beach Post and Andy Martino of the New York Daily News, neither the Marlins or Mets are interested in pursuing Willis. Willis was designated for assignment by the Detroit Tigers on Saturday.

Martino adds that the Mets are not interested in Willis or Nelson Figueroa, who was recently cut by the Philadelphia Phillies. The team is pleased with its depth of pitching within the organization and believes that it has better options in the Minors.

Willis, 28, pitched with the Marlins from 2003-2007. He had his best year with the Marlins in 2005 when he went 22-10 with a 2.63 ERA.
