Amidst a mostly slow-moving free agent market across Major League Baseball is a bullpen market rapidly thinning. Many of the biggest name closers, including Edwin Diaz, Devin Williams, Robert Suarez, Raisel Iglesias, Emilio Pagan, and Ryan Helsley have agreed to new deals, leaving the remaining teams looking to add a late-inning presence with dwindling options. Widely considered the best closing option remaining, Pete Fairbanks has generated widespread interest this offseason, with several teams reportedly in pursuit. The White Sox, according to MLB.com’s Scott Merkin, are among the teams interested, and a recent report could be a promising sign for their chances.
