Cincinnati Reds must tell Raisel Iglesias to train as a closer for as long as he’s there

Every offseason the Cincinnati Reds would tell Aroldis Chapman to train as a starter and every spring they would use him as a reliever. That sort of non-sense needs to stop. Raisel Iglesias is likely on his way out the door, but if he stays around he should be the closer.

The Reds had the worst bullpen by far in the first half of the 2016. The Minnesota Twins and Atlanta Braves had issues of their own, but controlling for ballpark and league made the Reds the worst. It was one of the worst of all-time, really.
