With Kenley Jansen testing the free agency waters this offseason, one of the more pressing questions heading into 2022 is who will take over as the Dodgers closer if Jansen signs elsewhere? Blake Treinen would likely be the favorite to replace Jansen as the team’s closer next year if Jansen leaves via free agency, but LA could consider some other alternatives as well.
Looking at the current mix of Dodgers relievers on the 40-man roster, Daniel Hudson, Tommy Kahnle, Alex Vesia and Brusdar Graterol could all get a look to step into the closer’s role. Brusdar Graterol, 23, would seemingly feel like the best choice to be the Dodgers next closer of the relievers not named Blake Treinen.
