RELIEVERS: At the edge of the trade deadline

The trade deadline is upon us. Lots to discuss—let's get to it, starting with three pens where the closer has been traded and new closers are getting save chances. Baltimore traded Zach Britton (LHP, NYY) to New York leaving Brad Brach (RHP, BAL) back in the closer role. Here are the last 30 days in this pen:

BAL L30            Sv Hd  IP  xERA BPV  CLN/APP   LI
================== == == ==== ==== === ========= ====
B.Brach             1  2  8.7 5.12  71    6/10   0.53
M.Givens            0  4 10.3 3.94 102    7/11   0.99
P.Fry (L)           0  2 12.7 2.59 163    9/12   1.41
T.Scott (L)         0  0 10.0 3.23 140    7/12   1.40

Brach is almost certainly going to close. But July did not go well with that 5.12 xERA and 71 BPV and the 0.53...

Almost!
