Brandon League talks to Doug Miller of MLB.com

"I'm excited because [...] in talking with [former Mariners and Jays reliever] Miguel Batista, he had nothing but good things to say about the Mariners, the direction they're going," League said.

The jokes pretty much write themselves.

Also of note, Brandon League mentions that he worked with Rick Adair in 2004 while at Double-A New Hampshire.

Kinda nice that Batista

still has nice things to say about the Mariners, even though he was released.

Not encumbered by the thought process.

I think it was nicer of us to pay $36 million into his bank account over three years.

Oh snap!

He wasn't released. He just wasn't given a new offer once his contract was up.

And I imagine he’s pretty understanding of why.

So Brandon League is familiar with the concept of pitching through pain.

I have literally shown up to jazz gigs

and had the employer ask me, “hey, let’s keep this low-key, play some Kenny G, alright?”

I hate these people. They probably listen voluntarily to 98.9.

While that sucks I am going to give you some unsolicited advice.

Always negotiate the details ahead of time. It serves you well in your professional life and also in relationships.

Agreed

You never want to be getting into the mood and then suddenly be sprung with the “no kissing on the mouth” rule. Better to have that hammered out beforehand.

It's easier to ask forgiveness than permission!

at least until the restraining order goes into effect.

I thought he was referencing my days as a hooker.

a funny thing about regret is it’s better to regret something you have done than to regret something you haven’t done .And by the way, if you see your mother this weekend, be sure and tell her
