Tampa Bay Rays – A lengthy profile published recently in the Tampa Bay Times includes the suggestion that Alex Colome “appears the first choice to fill in for Brad Boxberger” when the season starts. Danny Farquhar has had an excellent spring, but we’ve learned to trust the local beat writers when there hasn’t been an overt declaration from a manager. So we’ll bump Colome to the top of the committee until we hear more.
Updated hierarchy: *Colome | Farquhar | Cedeno.
* = closer-by-committee
Toronto Blue Jays – John Gibbons said that he’d officially name a closer after today’s game. We still expect it to be Drew Storen, in which case we won’t send an update later tonight. But if it’s Roberto Osuna, expect to hear from us.
Hierarchy remains: Storen | Osuna | Cecil.
