MLB Rumor Central: Who will be the Nats' closer?
The Washington Nationals failed to land a high-profile closer during the offseason and are now considering their internal options.
In an appearance on Jim Bowden's Sirius XM radio show, GM Mike Rizzo said the Nats haven't had trade talks for a closer in "quite some time" and believe they can have someone emerge in spring training.
Shawn Kelley, Blake Treinen and Koda Glover are all options to be Washington's ninth-inning man, according to Rizzo.
An eight-year veteran, Kelley has 11 career saves, seven of which came last season. The 32-year-old posted a 2.64 ERA and 0.90 WHIP in 2016, striking out a career-high 80 batters over 58 innings while recording 14 holds.
