When the Cincinnati Reds traded Raisel Iglesias over the winter it opened up the closers role on the team. Iglesias had saved 100 games for the Reds over the previous four seasons to go along with a 2.95 ERA and 1.11 WHIP. While there were come hiccups along the way, he was a quality closer.
For a while there was a fun back-and-forth between Lucas Sims and Amir Garrett about who would be the clubs closer. It was all good natured between the two relievers, and objectively both pitchers could make claim that they should be “the closer”.
