Jon Morosi of FOXSports.com reports that the Giants and Mariners have discussed a trade involving Brandon League.
Seattle covets Brandon Belt, but one would assume it would take a lot more than League to pull that trade off. Then again, League was once dealt for Brandon Morrow, so anything is in play. Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com reported Sunday that the Mariners were close to trading League, but the veteran reliever was seen warming up during today's game. In other words, a trade doesn't appear imminent. League scuffled earlier this season and was yanked from his ninth-inning gig, but has pitched very well of late, putting up a 1.96 ERA since the beginning of June.
