Who will close for the Astros in 2021?

We’re already in the 2020-2021 offseason and closer Roberto Osuna was let go by the Astros, leaving a huge question mark for the closer’s role when we are less than 150 days away from Opening Day. So... Who will be closing games for Houston in 2021?

Right now, the team still has veteran, efficient reliever Ryan Pressly, who will enter his walk year next season. Since Osuna got injured in the early stages of the campaign, Pressly took over his duties. Before 2020, the 31-year-old had recorded only six saves throughout his seven-year career.

He struggled in the early going.
