Dodger fans rejoice! The day you’ve all been waiting for has finally come!
One day after allowing a go-ahead 9th inning home run, his fifth run allowed in four games, Craig Kimbrel has been removed from the Dodgers’ closer position.
It’s pretty surprising it took this long, considering Kimbrel struggled to throw a clean inning for most of the year, but Dodger fans won’t have to hold their breath in the 9th inning of a one-run game any longer.
The biggest question mark now is who will get that coveted 9th inning role. Roberts said the team will go to a closer-by-committee role for now, as they’ll probably use these next few weeks to see who could close out games in October.
