National League West teams have taken different approaches to how much they invest in their closer.
You have the Dodgers and the Rockies, who have invested a lot of money in the position. Los Angeles re-signed Kenley Jansen before last season to a five-year, $80 million deal, just $6 million shy of Aroldis Chapman's record deal for a closer. Meanwhile, Colorado signed Wade Davis prior to this season to a three-year, $52 million deal, which set a record for highest average annual value for a closer.
You also have the Padres and the D-backs, who have done more bargain shopping for closers, with San Diego claiming lefty Brad Hand off waivers during the 2016 season and Arizona acquiring Brad Boxberger and his $1.
