Closer options (other than Devin Williams)

Since 2020 there are 131 relievers with at least 100 IP. Devin has posted a 45 ERA- (2nd), a 51 FIP- (3rd), 5.2 rWAR (3rd), 5.0 fWAR (3rd) and +8.23 WPA (2nd).

The only relievers that are really comparable statistically are Edwin Diaz, Emmanuel Clase and Liam Hendriks, none of whom I would imagine are available.

Free Agent relievers (with 2020-22 stats and MLBTR contract predictions) include…

Taylor Rogers (3/30): 103 ERA- | 70 FIP- | -0.6 rWAR | 3.1 fWAR | -1.97 WPA

Kenley Jansen (2/26): 69 ERA- | 75 FIP- | 3.8 rWAR | 3.5 fWAR | +4.25 WPA

Carlos Estevez (3/21): 94 ERA- | 98 FIP- | 1.0 rWAR | 0.8 fWAR | -0.06 WPA

Andrew Chafin (2/18): 64 ERA- | 77 FIP- | 3.0 rWAR | 2.3 fWAR | +2.66 WPA

David Robertson (2/16): 68 ERA- | 90 FIP- | 2.2 rWAR | 0.8 fWAR | +2.59 WPA

Adam Ottavino (2/14): 80 ERA- | 82 FIP- | 2.6 rWAR | 1.9 fWAR | +1.75 WPA

The only real “proven closer” appears to be Kenley Jansen.

Boxberger was coming off 76 ERA- | 87 FIP- | 2.4 rWAR | 1.5 fWAR | +2.53 WPA over the last two years with the Brewers & they didn’t want to pay him $3M.

Would guess they won’t want to pay over $20M more for Jansen or over $10M more for any of the other FA RP.
