A Look ahead to 2024
Dec 27 2023
This last column of 2023 focuses on 2024. Last week's column focused on unrestricted free agents and the need for some teams to revamp their pens for next year—Atlanta, Chicago White Sox, Miami, Oakland, Philadelphia, San Diego, and Texas. Atlanta needs to revamp the guts of their pen, but they have their closer, Raisel Iglesias (RHP, ATL). As many as 12 other teams have their closers, too:
