Los Angeles Dodgers intend to pursue multi-year deal with Ted Lilly
By
According to sources close to Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports, the Los Angeles intend to pursue a multi-year deal with left-handed pitcher Ted Lilly. ESPN’s Buster Olney adds, “Ted Lilly’s agent says the pitcher wants to work out something to stay in L.A. — and the Dodgers want the same thing. Talks to come.”
Lilly was acquired by the Dodgers before the July 31st trade deadline. With an outside chance of making the playoffs, it was believed that Los Angeles may try to save on payroll and dump players such as Lilly.
The New York Yankees were awarded a waiver claim on Lilly before August 31, and they may continue to pursue acquiring Lilly with the hopes to add him to their post season roster.
