He has been very good.

Reluctantly I must give Mo credit for getting Svanson for DeJong and cash. Nice move!

I did - I said at the time of the deal he was exactly the type of arm they should be targeting and that he had a high likelihood of being a high leverage / back of the bullpen guy. Should be a candidate to close in 2026.

Re: svanson looks like a keeper..
If Svanson closes will it be called a svae?

Re: svanson looks like a keeper..
Good thing about signing bullpen arms. If you get one on a heater for a season you can flip em.

I love it. Just mad I didn’t come up with this myself!
Re: svanson looks like a keeper..
A good team will have more than 1 to who can close. Plus, I’d test which one can go innings without going on the DLChitownredbird wrote: ↑18 Aug 2025 20:53 pmFor the 7th or 8th.scoutyjones2 wrote: ↑18 Aug 2025 20:49 pmNothing wrong with RomeroChitownredbird wrote: ↑18 Aug 2025 20:48 pm He should be the one who is the closer trial, but omniscient oli gonna be oli.
Re: svanson looks like a keeper..
Right now he and Romero look like options for closer. If they continue to work out that will definitely help bull pen rebuild for 2026. Still need arms but it would be nice to go into the year with confidence in a closer.
