Who will be the Oakland A’s closer in 2021?
That’s not a question to panic about, because the A’s always figure something out for the 9th inning. But it does need to be answered eventually, since the primary plan was dashed before the season even began with the loss of Trevor Rosenthal to surgery. Now the job is up for grabs, for at least half the summer while Rosenthal recovers.
In a convenient twist, Oakland got some extra time to figure out their next move. For the first 11 games of the season, they didn’t see a single save situation.
