JC Ramirez and Deolis Guerra closing options for Angels after Fernando Salas trade

August 31, 2016

Los Angeles Angels — With the waiver deadline deal of Fernando Salas to the Mets, we expect a combination of J.C. Ramirez and Deolis Guerra (traded from the Mets eight years ago for Johan Santana) to handle the L.A. closing duties going forward. Whichever guy gets the job full-time will be the Angels’ fifth closer of the season.

Updated hierarchy: *Ramirez | Guerra | Morin.
* = closer-by-committee
