Dodgers 'looking into' signing Rafael Soriano
Rafael Soriano - R - New York Yankees

ESPN's Buster Olney reports that the Dodgers are "looking into" signing free agent reliever Rafael Soriano.

Brandon League is the front-runner to open the season as the Dodgers' closer, but the addition of Soriano would presumably push him into a set-up role. Olney speculates that there's about a "20 percent" chance that a deal gets done, so the scenario is considered a longshot. Signing Soriano would cost the Dodgers their first-round pick in 2013.
