Yesterday, a report surfaced that the Los Angeles Dodgers were interested in signing LeMahieu to fill their need at second base. Shortly thereafter, Saunders tweeted out that the Colorado Rockies had not been in touch with the All-Star free agent about a return to the position he has held since being acquired from the Chicago Cubs prior to the 2012 season.
LeMahieu is a batting champion, two-time All-Star and three-time Gold Glove winner, including the award he just earned on Sunday night. It was expected that LeMahieu would test free agency, even before it was announced by Colorado general manager Jeff Bridich that he would not be extending a qualifying offer on the 30-year-old second baseman.
