If you are reading this, hopefully you are in the beginning stages of your playoff run, or at least in the running for taking down a roto league crown. Also, hopefully your RP situation is solid enough where you don't have too many worries. But in case you do, hopefully there's some potential on the waiver wire still, despite being little to no change in most teams closing situation lately. Being that we are in the last month of the season, not a whole lot of changes will be made to this list, with most of them being in those bottom two wildcard tiers.

TIER 1: Nothing Compares 2 U

1. Kenley Jansen (Los Angeles Dodgers)—Pedro Baez, Tony Watson

2. Craig Kimbrel (Boston Red Sox)—Addison Reed, Matt Barnes

3. Corey Knebel (Milwaukee Brewers)—Anthony Swarzak, Jacob Barnes

    I really doubt Pedro Baez is still 2nd in line to Kenley.

      After last night, you may be right. Watson is probably next in line now. Morrow or Fields might get a shot but they havn’t been great lately either.

  2. Bostero says:

    Supposedly Chapman is getting the closer role as early as tomorrow. Drop Treinen for Chapman?

    Thanks Rick.
