Relievers at the trade deadline
Jul 28 2024
The Arizona Diamondbacks have already added lefty A.J. Puk (LHP, ARI) from the Miami Marlins, the Philadelphia Phillies added Carlos Estévez (RHP, PHI) from the Los Angeles Angels, and there will be plenty more before this trade deadline is passed. This column focuses first on players who are likely being discussed, then shifts to teams that are looking to add to their bullpens to see where there might be matches, and how those matches might change the landscape.
The biggest fantasy impact will come from current closers on the block. Here is a list (you can add or subtract from this list as you wish):
| current closers | SV | HD | IP | ERA | xERA | WHIP | K% | K-BB% | HR/9 |
| Finnegan, Kyle WAS | 28 | 0 | 42.2 | 2.32 | 3.55 | 0.98 | 26% | 18% | 1.3 |
| Jansen, Kenley BOS | 19 | 0 | 35.1 | 3.06 | 4.15 | 1.19 | 28% | 18% | 0.5 |
