Reyes Moronta needed more leads to protect

65 IP, 2.49 ERA, 10.94 K/9, 5.12 BB/9, 3.24 FIP

The Giants have been plagued by some Gift of the Magi-type misfortune over the last few seasons. In 2016, they had a perfectly fine offense, but their problem was that they couldn’t protect a lead. In 2018, they finally had a solid bullpen, but no leads to protect.

Reyes Moronta was the shut-down reliever the 2016 team desperately needed. Moronta was not only one of the best rookie relievers in the majors, he was one of the best relievers in general.
