Yeah it might be time to stop fantasizing about the big $$ Proven Closers. Sign Givens, Neris and one more arm for the same total as Kimbrel, no trade cost as with Hader, and fewer years than Iglesias. As much as the pen has cost this team over the past two years I think spending your $ on other things is still the correct philosophy (as the 2019 team also proved).
Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski has prioritized improving the closer position this winter and indicated that he's not tied to having one set reliever handle the role, especially with the team having so many other holes to fill, most notable center and left field.
"I'd like to have someone close a game for us and count on it," he said. "But, do we have a couple people do that, or do you want to spend your dollars doing that versus doing something else, signing a couple people?"
