Rosenthal:
2014 - 45 saves = top 5 closer
2015 - 48 saves = top 5 closer
2016 - blew up in June & lost closer job to rookie Seunghwan Oh = bad numbers
2017 - shared closer job with Oh & TJ surgery in August = good numbers prior
2018 - rehab = didn't pitch
2019 - rehab return + illness = bad numbers
2020 - revived corpse = good numbers
So, i think that there was good reason for him to look like garbage those couple of years. Not sure what happened in 2016.
And the A's think he is worth $11 million for one season.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

In my 12 team NL-only, I have Pomeranz ($1), Floro ($1), Wick ($3), D.Hudson ($3), and Jeffress ($8). There are about 3 1/2 weeks until roster freeze and I don’t know what to do about that motley crew. Last season I finished first in the saves category...but if I kept everyone in that group, I could easily finish last in the saves category this season.
The good and bad news is that Jansen, Soria, Bass, Bradley and Hand are all available in the auction. But figuring out whom to target is likely to result in sleepless nights, cold sweats and severe headaches.2021 Auction Anatomy

Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports that free agent closer Roberto Osuna (elbow) will hold a showcase on Friday, March 12 in the Dominican Republic.
Heyman adds that Osuna, who is attempting to pitch through a partially torn UCL, has been talking to teams this offseason. The 26-year-old righty elected free agency after passing through waivers unclaimed back in October. He was projected to earn roughly $10 million in salary arbitration before being non-tendered by the Astros.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”
