JD on Louis Varland (Jun 3, 2026): This might be an aggressive ranking but there hasn't really been a reliever better than Varland this year outside of Mason Miller. I expect him to lock down the closer role for the remainder of the year and stick around for a while after Jeff Hoffman opened the door for him.
