Washington Nationals: Sammy Solis Deserves Closer Consideration
While they appear to be making either Shawn Kelley or Blake Treinen their 2017 closer, the Washington Nationals should take a hard look at making lefty Sammy Solis their closer.
Going into the MLB offseason, the Washington Nationals had their sights set on finding a long term closer. They came up short in multiple pursuits. Closers who they pursued included: Aroldis Chapman, Kenley Jansen, Alex Colome, and their own Mark Melancon. After not adding any of their free agent targets, it appears the Nationals will look internally to find their replacement for Melancon at closer.
