Hagen Smith is mostly likely the new closer, he's the furthest thing from an "unproven rookie" after last season. He's a proven out getter. Sure, he can regress, but wtf are you arguing?

Sure, he can regress, but wtf are you arguing?He has thrown 35 total innings in the majors thus far — 28 in the regular season and 7 in the postseason. He was excellent and I think it’s likely that he will be the closer, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he flops completely in the role due to his walkcitis. Edited 2 hours ago2 hr by WhiteSox2023
