HBT: Cards interested in bringing back Dotel

According to Buster Olney of ESPN.com, the Cardinals have had ?multiple discussions? about bringing back veteran reliever Octavio Dotel.

Dotel,?37, posted a 3.50 ERA and 62/17 K/BB ratio over 54 innings between the Cardinals and Blue Jays during the regular season. Of course, he was also an important part of Tony La Russa?s bullpen during the postseason, compiling a 2.61 ERA and 14/2 K/BB ratio over 10 1/3 innings.

The Cardinals declined Dotel?s $3.5 million option for 2012 last month, instead opting to pay a $750,000 buyout, but they remain interested in bringing him back at a lesser salary. Olney hears that the interest is mutual, though one imagines he would likely jump at the opportunity to close games somewhere.
