Danny Duffy, MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand reports (via Twitter). This completes the trio of NL West contenders looking at Duffy, since the Padres and Giants have also been linked to the veteran left-hander.

“They desperately need Luke Voit back. I always thought (DJ) LeMahieu was the guy, and I still think he’s the guy. But Voit’s really important for them, because he’s the cleanup guy, meaning that when everybody else fails, and there are people left on base, he cleans it up. And that’s what he’s been for them, and they’ve really been lacking that spot in the lineup.”
