Nationals' Koda Glover: Role to be announced soon
Nationals manager Dusty Baker said Saturday the team has decided on a closer, although he isn't yet willing to make that decision public, Chelsea Janes of The Washington Post reports. Glover is one of three candidates for the job, along with Shawn Kelley and Blake Treinen.
Analysis:
Glover had been getting regular work in the ninth inning of Grapefruit League games not so long ago, but Treinen seems to have taken that assignment in recent days and recorded the final two outs against the Astros on Saturday. Glover seems to be viewed by the organization as its closer of the future, but whether that future begins Opening Day is the crucial question from a fantasy perspective. Either way, it seems the Nats' bullpen picture should become a lot clearer soon.
