Our job today is to thoroughly examine National League teams for stolen base targets. First, we should address the “Saves” portion of this column, namely some late-spring news. Let’s start with injuries.
The Blue Jays intended closer, Kirby Yates, is expected to require Tommy John surgery. Jordan Romano, Rafael Dolis, and Tyler Chatwood may share duties early in the season until someone runs away with the job. Romano has looked sharp this spring. In San Diego, it was always unclear if Drew Pomeranz would reprise his role as closer.
