On Tuesday night in Arlington, the Texas Rangers won on a grand slam that allowed Wyatt Langford to send a deep pitch to New York Yankees closer Clay Holmes, which turned out to be his 11th blown save of the season. The Yankees closer has been the subject of fan ire this season, with many calling for a necessary change in who closes games.
Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss what the Yankees’ options might be right now, whether there’s anyone on the roster who can fill the closer’s role and whether or not there’s enough time in the season to experiment with someone new. With the postseason just around the corner, will Aaron Boone and company stick with Clay Holmes?
