Washington Nationals Spring Training 2017: Nats in no rush to name closer...

With Opening Day fast approaching, the Nationals are taking all the time they have to decide which pitcher will get the ball in the ninth inning this season. Washington Nationals GM Mike Rizzo discussed the in-house search for the next closer in the nations capital in an MLB Network Radio interview last week. With a number of relievers in camp trying to earn the job after the Nationals came up empty this winter in spite of their efforts to sign or acquire an experienced late-inning arm, the Nats have a decision to make in the near future.
