The Bullpen Tracker: NL
A weekly article looking for saves and holds across the league
April 1 – April 14
Every couple of weeks, I’ll be breaking down bullpen situations across the league—highlighting closers and key holds targets (aka the guys who actually matter in SV+HLD leagues).
I’ll alternate between AL and NL each update and keep this rolling all season.
Atlanta Braves
Closer: Raisel Iglesias
No drama here. Iglesias is the guy. The “Triple C” (clear-cut closer). Don’t overthink it.
Holds Targets: Robert Suarez, Aaron Bummer, Dylan Lee
Suarez and Bummer have the early holds, but I prefer Dylan Lee. He’s been the best of the group and should earn more high-leverage work.
Miami Marlins
Closer: Pete Fairbanks
He’s got the job (2 saves), but… it’s the Marlins.
Holds Targets: Andrew Nardi, Tyler Phillips
Nardi should get consistent chances. Phillips? More of a “fun guy” than a “good pick” (but hey, bullpen vibes matter).
New York Mets
Closer: Devin Williams
They paid him. He’s elite. This job isn’t changing.
Holds Targets: Luke Weaver, Brooks Raley
Weaver should pile up holds. Raley is next in line—for now.
