Brian Bannister Drawing Interest

Teams are inquiring on righty Brian Bannister, according to ESPN.com's Buster Olney. The Royals weren't close to dealing him as of this evening, but we still have 20 hours before the deadline. Bannister, 28, makes $1.7MM this year and isn't scheduled to become a free agent until after the 2012 season.  Check out the interviews Brian did with MLBTR last year here, here, and here. Olney says Willie Bloomquist is also drawing interest.
