It was a trying 2019 season for Raisel Iglesias. Anytime your closer is tied for the team lead in losses, it’s never a good sign. In addition, his early season complaints to the media regarding his usage failed to win him any sympathy among the Cincinnati Reds faithful. The question must be asked; does Iglesias has a future in the Queen City?
Twelve was not a magic number for Iglesias this season. The Reds closer was saddled with 12 losses on the season, while surrendering just as many home runs. This is the second consecutive season Iggy has given up a dozen round trippers.
