Whether or not Kenley Jansen re-signs with the Dodgers is anyone’s guess. Currently, Jansen is one of the many MLB free agents unable to sign due to the current MLB lockout. Some Dodgers fans believe that Blake Treinen would take over the closer role if Jansen does sign elsewhere.
Not so fast says The Athletic’s Fabian Ardaya.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if the club enters 2022 without a set closer. They have multiple pitchers who have experience at the end of games in Blake Treinen and Daniel Hudson, but both are the type of arms who are flexible enough to simply pitch in leverage regardless of it being the ninth.
