San Francisco Giants: Who will replace Will Smith as the closer?

The best player on the 2019 San Francisco Giants has without question been closer Will Smith.

The 29-year-old is a perfect 21-for-21 on save chances with a 2.16 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and a career-high 13.8 K/9 in 33.1 innings of work.

All of that has earned him a trip to the All-Star Game for the first time in his career.

While that performance has made him the team’s best player, it has also made him a valuable trade chip, and with free agency looming this offseason there’s a good chance he’ll be dealt before the July 31 trade deadline.
