6 years agoBefore Thursday night's game, Miami Marlins manager Don Mattingly confirmed that relief pitcher Brad Ziegler will no longer be the closer going forward, according to Joe Frisaro of MLB.com. Kyle Barraclough seems to be the best candidate to replace Ziegler, having posted a 1.48 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 9.99 K/9 over 24 1/3 innings this season. Barraclough should be added in all leagues at this point, but if he is already owned, you might want to look at adding either Drew Steckenrider or Tayron Guerrero, who could also have a shot at the closer role if Mattingly goes with a committee approach.--Michael
