With the trade deadline creeping closer, it is time to take a look at how some potential deals could impact teams bullpen situations. Closers Justin Wilson, Addison Reed and AJ Ramos seem the most likely closers to be traded. Wilson would be a Tier 2 hold's option wherever he ends up most likely, with Bruce Rondon probably winding up as the Tigers new closer. He's not someone to get overly excited about just yet. Reed moving could see rookie Paul Sewald see time as the Mets closer until Jeurys Familia returns. Reed, like Wilson, would move into the 2nd tier on this list. Ramos is more of a Tier 3 hold's option probably, and who knows who takes over closing duties in Miami if he were to be dealt. Kyle Barraclough was the most likely option before winding up on the DL.

With Will Harris set to return this weekend, where would he slot in your SV+HD list?

Curious as to why Robertson is ranked ahead of Bradley? Both play on winning teams and Bradley’s overall numbers are better than Robertson’s this season.
I ask because I’ve had Bradley all season, but Robertson is available on the WW.
Bradley hasn’t had a Hold in 5 weeks. He blew his only two Hold ops.
