"Mariners general manager Jack Zduriencik told Jim Bowden of ESPN.com that closer Brandon League is not available for potential trades.

Zduriencik said League "is going to be here" when Bowden asked him whether the right-hander will be traded.

The Mariners are almost certain to make some deals before the deadline, and League was thought to be an attractive piece for a contender with bullpen needs."
