This news comes on the heels of a crazy week at the Winter Meetings where it appeared that Jansen was heading to the Miami Marlins after reports of a five-year, $80 million+ deal was on the table. It was widely expected that the Dodgers were not in the market to match the deal.
However, it appears the Marlins and Washington Nationals were either outbid or dropped out of the running for the All-Star closer and he will now return to the only home he's ever known: Los Angeles.
