Washington Nationals Spring Training 2017: Nats’ closer search notes...

Washington Nationals’ GM Mike Rizzo talked about the state of the Nats’ closer search in a Sirius/XM Fantasy interview with Craig Mish and Jim Bowden earlier this week.

Rizzo said there really wasn’t too much to report.

“We haven’t touched base in the trade market for closers in quite some time,” Rizzo said.

“As we go into the beginning of Spring Training, we have several candidates that we think can pitch the ninth inning,” he added.
