I would not have re-signed Kenley Jansen and I said so at the time. It’s not that I don’t like him, but he is fully capable of blowing a game and he’s expensive. Let me remind you that the Astros won the World Series without a good dominant closer. It surprised me that FAZ re-signed Kenley, but they did. Actually, it played out pretty good in 2017, until the World Series Meltdown. It can be argued that if Kenley had not melted down in the Series, the Dodgers would have won.
You can blame last night’s meltdown (and it was absolutely a meltdown) on the Dodgers holding him out for a while in the Spring, but then his hamstring held him back.
