Zack Britton Throwing For Interested Teams Wednesday
2 years agoFree-agent relief pitcher Zack Britton (shoulder) is throwing a bullpen session on Wednesday for six interested teams. It remains to be seen which six teams will be in attendance, but it was reported several weeks ago that the Los Angeles Angels had "strong interest" in the left-hander, so it's likely they are one of the six teams. Injuries have limited the 35-year-old veteran to just 25 relief appearances in the last two years, and his season ended early last year when he developed fatigue in his left shoulder. Britton has 154 career saves in 12 MLB seasons, including a league-leading 47 with the Baltimore Orioles in 2016, so he could be a useful high-leverage setup man for a team in need of bullpen help if he can stay healthy. UPDATE: The Dodgers, Angels and Rangers are viewed as three potential landing spots for Britton, while the Mets have been linked to him as well. The Cubs and Giants were two of the teams that watched Britton throw Wednesday.
