5 Possible Replacements for Mariners’ Closer Fernando Rodney

What Do You Think?

In conclusion, I believe if the Mariners opt to make a change at the closer spot, I believe Danny Farquhar or Yoervis Medina make the most sense right now. I also contend the Carson Smith is the closer in waiting on this ball club, but I would like him to have a few more big league innings under his belt before he steps into the pressure packed role.

The point of this article is not to bash Fernando Rodney. I like Rodney, but I just wanted to point out that Seattle is flush with reliable and talented relievers who are ready to take the reigns from the flamboyant 38-year-old. Rodney brings a fun factor to the club, but if the M’s are not winning, no one will be laughing this summer.

Feel free to cast your vote for who you would like to see closing games for the Mariners in 2015. It may not make a difference to Lloyd McClendon, but here at SoDo Mojo we value the readers opinions. Also, notice that Fernando Rodney is listed as an option. If you are not ready for the Fernando Rodney experience to end this season, click the box next to his name to have your voice be heard!
