Who will be the closer in 2024?
The key to any quality team is having a bullpen that can be effective. 2023 saw several standout performances for the Colorado Rockies, but it still had its problems. Some of those problems and concerns persevere heading into 2024, but one such problem is the somewhat uncertainty surrounding the role of the closer.
As spring training gets underway, we will have Purple Row’s annual State of the Position articles to cover each aspect of the team’s roster including the whole bullpen, but this offseason question deserves further, focused exploration before we get to that point. The closer role is an important one for the Rockies and while there are likely incumbents, nothing feels certain yet.
