Andrew Nardi, Huascar Brazoban Could Become Save Options
1 month agoKaushik Sampath of the Miami Herald writes that Miami Marlins relief pitchers Andrew Nardi and Huascar Brazoban could both be options to take over the team's closer role for the rest of the 2024 season if the team trades current closer Tanner Scott before next Tuesday's MLB trade deadline. The Marlins sent lefty reliever A.J. Puk to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday night. Nardi, like Scott, is a left-hander. The 25-year-old has a rough 5.03 ERA on the year, mainly after giving up eight runs in his first four outings of the season. But he's been much better since then and has fanned 51 hitters in 39 1/3 frames on the year. The 34-year-old Brazoban has also been much better of late and has a 3.14 ERA and 1.08 WHIP on the year with 31 K's and 11 walks in 28 2/3 innings. Nardi is probably the favorite for saves when/if Scott is traded, so fantasy managers scrounging for saves may want to grab him off the waiver wire now.
