Red Sox closer Jansen hopes to retire 'in Dodger blue'

If Boston Red Sox closer Kenley Jansen has his way, he'll finish his career where it started: pitching for the Dodgers in Los Angeles.

"I want to see myself retiring in Dodger blue, but is it a reality?" he told "Foul Territory" on Thursday. "I don't have control over that. Also, I don't know what they're thinking, and, at the end of the day, it's a business."

The Dodgers signed Jansen as an undrafted free-agent catcher in 2004. He made his MLB debut as a 22-year-old in 2010 after being successfully converted into a relief pitcher.

Jansen enjoyed success over his 12 seasons with the Dodgers, making three All-Star teams and twice leading the league in saves. The 36-year-old holds the franchise record in saves with 350 for his career.

But despite the history, Jansen said that winning another World Series remains his top priority.

"I want to chase championships. Wherever wants me on their roster when I'm a free agent and (will) give me the best deal for me and my family, that's where I will go," Jansen said. "But yes, the Dodgers will have that edge."
