While it may be surprising to hear, Hector Neris is the longest-tenured player on the Phillies roster. With much of the bullpen’s roles uncertain this year, Neris was confidently penciled in as the closer going into this season. Along with the rest of the bullpen, Neris has been a major failure in this role. The Phillies have added some new arms to the bullpen in recent days, including Bradon Workman who has begun to transition into the closer role. This move has shown promising results early on, but it is still to be determined if this is the answer to the Phillies’ late-game struggles.
Is Brandon Workman the answer to Phillies’ closing pitcher woes?
