Closers for every MLB team
Teams can have solid starting pitching, strong middle relief and a potent offense, but if they don’t have a closer waiting in the bullpen to finish off games, wins won’t be easy to come by. And while not every club has an Aroldis Chapman or Kenley...

Tim Benz, Mark Madden discuss Roethlisberger, Bell, Penguins’ bad weekend, Pirates infield
Thanks to an off-day, this week’s “Madden Monday” comes on a Tuesday. We get into: • Josh Harris’ accusation that Ben Roethlisberger fumbled on purpose against the Bengals. Why is this information just coming out now? • Le’Veon Bell’s failed contract.

It's very MLB to open the regular season with two meh teams in Japan, a week ahead of everyone else, in the wee hours of the morning. Sure, it's nice for Japan, but why count the games? I'm guessing hardly any non-diehard MLB fans know the season "starts" in a few hours -
I’ve done my share of blasting #Pirates mgmt for how they’ve handle things. It’s terrible. But this is ridiculously dumb. Comparing the contract of possibly the best player in the HISTORY of the game to a marginal FA starter & bringing the Bucs into it is just, as I said, dumb.Angels just gave Trout almost a half billion, and meanwhile the Bucs refuse to pay a 5th starter like Gio 3 mil smh -

Is it #ExtensionSZN? Will the #Pirates try to get something done? Taillon the obvious answer of course, but would be hard to see him take a deal right now. No other obvious candidates IMHO; *maybe* Josh Bell? -
