MLB.com reporter Jeffrey Flanagan indicated that club officials have told him they haven’t given up on signing former Kansas City Royals relievers Luke Hochevar and Greg Holland. The 31-year-old Holland hasn’t pitched since suffering a torn Ulnar Collateral Ligament in September of 2015. Meanwhile, Hochevar had thoracic outlet surgery in early August of 2016.
As many as twenty teams have expressed interest in cutting a deal with former all-star closer Holland. Holland indicated that he saw a reunion with Kansas City as unlikely at the Winter Meetings in early December.
