Mets Not Anointing A Closer After Trading David Robertson
1 year agoNew York Mets manager Buck Showalter said he won't "anoint" a closer after the team traded reliever David Robertson to the Miami Marlins on Thursday night. "All options are on the table. You might be surprised who might emerge," Showalter said. With that said, right-hander Adam Ottavino (39 career saves) has the most closing experience in New York's bullpen, although left-hander Brooks Raley got the save on Thursday night. Edwin Diaz (knee) is likely to miss the entire year after injuring his knee in the World Baseball Classic this spring, and Robertson had been serving as the primary closer up until now. Fantasy managers in need of saves down the stretch should consider both Ottavino and Raley, with Ottavino being the favorite for more save opportunities.
