Baker decides on closer, remains secret for now

WEST PALM BEACH, FLA. -- The Nationals have decided on a closer, according to manager Dusty Baker, but they are not ready to reveal who it is just yet.

"We've kind of settled on a guy, but we've got to tell the guy first," Baker said prior to Saturday's game against the Astros.

Baker did not provide a timeline of when they planned to tell the player or make an announcement, and he did not offer any strong hints on who it could be. But the decision appears to be between three main candidates: Shawn Kelley, Blake Treinen and Koda Glover.
