Update: Yahoo's Tim Brown is tweeting that the Dodgers can be added to the list of teams in attendance to watch Gagne throw yesterday.
Diamond Leung is reporting that Eric Gagne wants to make a comeback. He would like to contribute at the major league level in the near future. It seems he would like to pitch for the Dodgers again.
Gagne reportedly is willing to sign a minor-league contract and pitch in Triple-A or even Double-A. He spent 2009 pitching for the Quebec Capitales, going 6-6 with a 4.65 ERA as a starter. In 17 starts, he pitched two complete games and threw 102 2/3 innings.
You have got to be kidding me! This guy hasn't had a quality season in the major's since 2004. The fact is this guy was taking PED's, and as soon as he stopped, his career derailed. There was a time Eric Gagne was my favorite player, but I just don't see him ever making a positive impact on the Dodgers again. He last pitched in 2008 for the Milwaukee Brewers, and it wasn't anything to brag about. But I will say I don't see any risk to signing Gagne to a minor league deal if he wants to try and prove himself one last time.

Who knows maybe he spent the last year taking a PED that can't be detected in a test and is ready to contribute! In all seriousness, I'm sure someone will take the bait and get him signed to a minor league deal.
