Dodgers Offseason: Could Daniel Hudson be L.A.’s Answer at Closer?

Almost every big-league team has a closer almost every year. The Dodgers have had a closer with at least 20 saves in every full season since 1993 except 2008, when they switch closers midseason and Takashi Saito and Jonathan Broxton combined for 34 saves. Even in 2022, when the closer situation for Los Angeles was what the kids call a clusterpoop, Craig Kimbrel had 22 saves.

As of right now, L.A. doesn’t have a “closer,” and manager Dave Roberts has said they’re unlikely to go get one on the free-agent market.
