Rodney has been named the closer for now and at this stage of the game you want to get saves any which way you can. All of his peripherals are off his careers norms so I expect them to come back. One thing you have to worry about is his stability as closer. He may end up losing the job but if you think he’ll keep it, he could rack up close to 15-20 saves the rest of the way.

This one is for the deep leagues around there who might have to use middle relievers. Obviously we all know that he’s going to give up a run eventually. So better to sell right now and get something good in return.
