Plan is to get him back closing. After that, depends upon market. RT@aaront5: @LarryLaRue is the plan to still eventually try to trade him?

#Mariners pull closer Brandon League back, will have other pitchers work the 9th inning for now. League has blown 4 of 13 save opps
We all seem to get rather angry at Wedge, who ends up making the moves we wanted him to make anyway. The clubhouse, like other fortune 500 type places, requires a certain ettiquite be followed. Put simply: rookies need to play their way into a roll and veterans need to play themselves out. But what have we seen this year? Ichiro was dropped from the leadoff spot, Figgins was relegated to utility duty, Olivio's gone from playing everyday to sharing his roll with Jaso and Montero, and now, League's played himself out of the closer roll.
Keep calm, carry on, and let's win some ball games.
