10-team NL-only 5x5. I'm in third with a team that probably isn't underperforming too much, but it's early and there are a lot of points I could make up quickly.
I have what looks like three solid closers now - Familia $15X, Knebel $10B, Norris $10A. And with Ryan McMahon turning into a pumpkin I'm starting Prado at 3B so that's awful. If/when my hitters get off the DL (Braun and LeMahieu) that's really my only egregiously weak spot other than Austin Barnes as my second catcher.
The only team I've reached out to so far has offered Franco $10X or Brian Anderson $5A in a deal for a closer. I'd probably ask for a little more but not sure what - maybe I could get Austin Riley or Josh Naylor. The other team that's doing well and needs saves doesn't really have someone that would be a good match. I could probably get Matt Carpenter $16A, who's been hot for a week, or I could just ignore third and ask for various random guys like Thames $12B, Hampson $5, Nimmo $5A, Quintana $23A... maybe I could get Walker Buehler $5A but I doubt it.
Who should I try to get and which of my closers should I offer?
