Alzolay pitched a clean inning today but will be surprised to see Alzolay continuing with closing duties.
And it’s appears to be offical - Albert is no longer the closer

Options are becoming more clear
Brown seems like he could be dominant with a great 2 pitch arsenal but don’t know if you want to place those expectations on a rookie who has been developing as a starter. Yeah, guessing that 95% plus of relief pitchers were initially developed as starters.
Guessing that Neris and Leiter will get first opportunities with Neris most likely being the first option
