Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Fantasy Baseball - Week 20
After the frenzy of MLB trade deadline coverage last week, this week took a much quieter turn. We saw some implosions and interesting bullpen usage, but nothing compared to all the moving and shaking we just got past. The Royals have some interesting strategies that we saw them employ this week. The Angels saw a... Read More
Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Fantasy Baseball - Week 19
The fun thing about baseball's expanded playoffs with the three Wild Cards in each league is that a lot more teams can play like they have a chance to make the playoffs. That's exciting and makes for some really interesting games and storylines throughout August and September. The bad thing about that many teams thinking... Read More
Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Fantasy Baseball - Week 18
The trade deadline is just a couple of days away and with a lot of teams in the race (or at least a lot of teams who think they're in the race) we could be looking at one of the more active deadlines in a while. It already got started with some bullpen moves, like... Read More
Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Fantasy Baseball - Week 17
Folks, we are now firmly in the second half with the trade deadline rapidly approaching. Where has this season gone? Have the new pace of play rules crept into our everyday lives and made time pass us by? Has Rob Manfred found a really, really slow way to time travel into the future that only... Read More
Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Fantasy Baseball - Week 16 (All Star Break Edition)
Happy All-Star Break, everyone! It was an eventful, fun, and unexpected first half of the season which has us all set up for an even more exciting second half. Teams that are seemingly never in playoff contention are very much in playoff contention this year, which should make for a really interesting trade deadline. There's... Read More
Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Fantasy Baseball - Week 15
We had our first bullpen trade this week, a rather mild first step in what should be a very exciting and eventful run to the trade deadline. We also had some committees shape up a little more, and a long-injured reliever made his way back onto the mound then right back off. A closer we're... Read More
Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Fantasy Baseball - Week 14
Some weeks, it feels like the bullpens around baseball go bonkers and everything happens all at once. On other weeks, it almost seems like the bullpens all took a nice little summer nap in the grass under the warm moon. This week was more of a warm nap. Baseball in general was having a loud, busy...

Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Fantasy Baseball - Week 13
Now that it's officially summer, it's time to start taking some teams seriously. The Marlins, the Rangers, the Reds, the Diamondbacks: all might be for real. There's still plenty of season to go, but with the All-Star Break approaching and all of these unexpected teams currently in a playoff spot, we can no longer just... Read More
Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Fantasy Baseball - Week 12
Another week of baseball and we inch ever closer to being able to correctly call these guys the "boys of summer". This week saw two big news injuries in a pair of bullpens, along with a possible return to an earlier pattern in another. A committee got a little more complicated, and a group of... Read More
Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Fantasy Baseball - Week 11
Another relatively calm week in the league's bullpens makes us think we're in for a wild summer coming right up. The trade deadline should be fun, but baseball will definitely continue to be fun up until then as well. This week, a closer came back from an injury, a closer who was back last week... Read More
Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Fantasy Baseball - Week 10
Baseball is a funny sport. Some weeks it feels like absolutely everything that can happen happens and other weeks feels like there were barely any games played at all. It's a long season though, and the ebb and flow is one of the things that, in our opinion, makes baseball so great. There was bad... Read More
Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Fantasy Baseball - Week 9
Another week closer to the season changing and the Boys of Summer are clearly ready for it. Baseball is in full swing and a ton of other clichés. Even with all the rule changes baseball has seen over the past years and even with the emergence of holds in fantasy baseball, closers are still some... Read More
Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Fantasy Baseball - Week 8
We've all heard some version of the expression, "The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry." Well, if anyone ever needed proof of that one, a quick look at Major League Baseball's bullpens in pretty much any season would relieve any doubt. This week, a bullpen that had finally come together fell... Read More
Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Fantasy Baseball - Week 7
Sometimes bullpens feel like a daily frenzy of activity where everything is made up and the points don't matter. Other times, things go as planned and your seventh-inning guy gets the game to the eighth-inning guy, who then gets the game to the closer. The closer earns a save and everyone goes home. This week... Read More
Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Fantasy Baseball - Week 6
April's all done, and the second month of the baseball season is off to an interesting start. All 162 games in a team's season count the same, so holds and saves remain some of the most important stats in the sport. There are few things in sports more deflating than a starting pitcher doing well,... Read More
Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Fantasy Baseball - Week 5
Another week has gone by and we're almost through the month of April. Baseball's first month of 2023 has been exciting with some key surprises, unexpected disappointments, and of course plenty of bullpen news.

Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Fantasy Baseball - Week 4
They say baseball is in full swing, but for pitchers, they're hoping it's in full swing and miss. Get it? Do you get it? Alright, if you're still reading, thank you and we apologize. Baseball is in full swing and teams are getting their bullpens more and more set for the long season ahead. Injuries... Read More
Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Fantasy Baseball - Week 3
Another week of exciting baseball is another week of exciting bullpen news! Some committees are normalizing while others are forming anew, and maybe one is dissolving into a more traditional bullpen?

Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Fantasy Baseball - Week 1
It's the first weekend of baseball and fantasy managers are already freaking out (mostly) about their pitching staffs. The yearly tradition of second, third, and even fourth guessing your draft approach started yesterday as soon as the first pitch of the season was thrown, if not earlier. It's great to have baseball back, and it... Read More
Closers and Saves Report for Fantasy Baseball - Spring Training Updates (March 24th)
Hot take: The World Baseball Classic was a lot of fun. That really shouldn't be a hot take, but apparently, it is. But now that the World Baseball Classic is done until 2026 and we're back to regular Grapefruit and Cactus League games, Opening Day rosters are starting to take shape. We're a week away... Read More
Closers and Saves Report for Fantasy Baseball - Spring Training 2023
It's 2023, folks. Two thousand twenty-three. I'm aware that it's basically mid-March, but I'm still a little shocked every time I look at the date. With MLB Spring training in full swing and the World Baseball Classic underway, it's time to take our first look at the bullpens around the league to see what's changed... Read More
Cowboys Defense Plays Well In A Divisional Round Loss
