A's Pick Up Fernando Rodney's Option
Oct. 31, 2018
.The Oakland Athletics exercised relief pitcher Fernando Rodney's $4.25 million option for the 2019 season on Wednesday. Rodney had a 3.36 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 70 K's in 64 1/3 innings over 68 outings in 2018. All 25 of his saves came with the Twins before being traded to Oakland at the trade deadline. Walks (5.7 per nine innings) continue to be Rodney's weakness. He is a shaky fantasy option when he's closing games regularly, which makes him avoidable as a setup man.

A's Acquire Fernando Rodney
Aug. 9, 2018
The Oakland Athletics acquired relief pitcher Fernando Rodney from the Twins on Thursday in exchange for minor league right-hander Dakota Chalmers. Rodney has a 3.09 ERA and 25 saves on the season in 46 appearances for Minnesota. The trade saps basically all of the veteran's fantasy value, though, as he'll pitch in a setup role with his new team. Blake Treinen remains the closer, and the A's also have traded for Jeurys Familia and picked up Shawn Kelley recently to bolster their 'pen. Chalmers is a 21-year-old who has appeared in just two games (one start) for Single-A Beloit in 2018. Those who are in need of saves need to immediately pick up Addison Reed, as he should now be in the closer role in Minnesota.

Fernando Rodney Secures 24th Save On Sunday
Aug. 6, 2018
Minnesota Twins closer Fernando Rodney preserved his team's 6-5 win on Sunday by pitching a scoreless ninth inning and earning his 24th save (he got his 23rd on August 3 against the Royals as well). He did allow two hits and walked a batter, but was able to escape scot-free. With Rodney there will almost always be drama, but at 41-years-old he's still proving his worth. The Twins are nine games behind the Cleveland Indians for the American League Central lead so technically they're still alive in the playoff hunt. That said, they will need Rodney — who allowed 15 hits in 12 1/3 innings pitched in July — to continue to limit the damage.

Fernando Rodney Gives Up A Run In Loss On Wednesday
Aug. 1, 2018
Minnesota Twins closer Fernando Rodney allowed the final run on Wednesday against the Cleveland Indians that would go on to be enough for a Twins loss. After the Twins offense was completely shut down by Indians starter Carlos Carrasco, Rodney came into the game in the ninth inning to try and keep the score at 1-0. Instead, a few singles and an error later, the game was 2-0. Rodney has now allowed eight hits in his last six appearances. Rumored to be a trade chip, it appears he will now stay with the Twins for the remainder of the season. Rodney is a low-end closer, but he gets a lot of use with the Twins.
Fernando Rodney Picks Up Win On Tuesday
Jul. 31, 2018
Minnesota Twins closer Fernando Rodney picked up the win on Monday against the Cleveland Indians. It was a bullpen day for the Twins as starter Ervin Santana only lasted 5 1/3 innings. The Twins would go on to use another five pitchers, including Rodney. The veteran closer came into a tied game in the ninth inning and — in typical Rodney fashion — made the outing interesting by walking two batters, but struck out two on his way towards a clean inning. The Twins then walked off in the bottom of the ninth. Rodney has had an exciting July, with his owners undoubtedly sweating with each of his appearances in the month. It remains to be seen whether he will still be on the Twins when the trade deadline has come and gone.
Fernando Rodney Toils His Way To 22nd Save Thursday
Jul. 27, 2018
Minnesota Twins closer Fernando Rodney secured his 22nd save of the season on Thursday, but it did not come easy. The veteran entered the ninth inning to protect a 2-1 Twins lead against the powerhouse Boston Red Sox, and instantly found himself in danger. Shortstop Xander Bogaerts led off the inning with a single. First baseman Steve Pearce then grounded out, advancing Bogaerts to second. Third baseman Rafael Devers fouled out, and suddenly Rodney found himself with two outs. Then he proceeded to walk both catcher Blake Swihart and second baseman Brock Holt. With the game on the line — and in true, dramatic Rodney fashion — the closer struck out outfielder Jackie Bradley to end the game. If history has taught us anything, then Rodney might be getting closer to blowing another save; his last three appearances have been anything but easy (five hits, two runs, three walks). That said, Rodney has been rumored as a trade chip, and if he moves to a contender expect him to be delegated to a setup man role, vastly reducing his fantasy value. If not, he will continue to be a middle-of-the-pack fantasy closer for the Twins.
Fernando Rodney Escapes Trouble In 11th Inning Wednesday
Jul. 25, 2018
Minnesota Twins closer Fernando Rodney came into Wednesday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays in the 11th inning in a non-save situation and immediately found himself in trouble. With two men on — one of them on third base — and one out, Rodney managed to induce a double-play ground ball to secure the Twins' 12-6 victory. This performance comes after allowing two runs in another non-save situation on July 23. Rodney has been rumored as a trade chip as of late, so it remains to be seen if the Twins keep or move him. If he is moved before the July 31 deadline, his value will decrease if he doesn't end up closing on his new team. As of this writing however, he is still the closer on a team that is officially on a three-game win streak, so his value remains the same.

Fernando Rodney Earns 21st Save On Thursday
Jul. 13, 2018
Minnesota Twins closer Fernando Rodney secured his 21st save of the season, closing out a 5-1 Twins victory on Thursday. Rodney came in the ninth inning after reliever Ryan Pressly loaded the bases. Rodney then induced a ground ball out at home, and then the veteran struck out Matt Duffy to end the game. Rodney has now sealed the deal in four straight save opportunities. That said, Rodney has become the subject of many trade rumors, with one linking him to the Boston Red Sox, who already have elite closer Craig Kimbrel. If he does indeed get traded to a contender with an established closer, Rodney could be reduced to taking a setup man role. While he has been effective as a closer for the Twins, his future as one remains uncertain until after the All-Star break. The Twins might consider keeping him if they think they have a chance in the American League Central. That said, fantasy players may consider selling Rodney at this point in the season, while his value is still solid.
Fernando Rodney Picks Up 20th Save Monday
Jul. 10, 2018
Minnesota Twins closer Fernando Rodney sealed the deal Monday against the Kansas City Royals. Rodney came into the game in the ninth inning and secured the Twins 3-1 victory along with earning his 20th save of the season. This comes after he got his 19th save on July 7 against the Baltimore Orioles, and he has now been successful in three straight save opportunities. Not to be forgotten, this streak comes after he blew two straight saves; Fernando Rodney in a nutshell. The chances of him blowing a save relatively soon are high if we're going by his history, but he should be kept in lineups as a cheap closing option riding a save-streak going forward.

Red Sox Showing Interest in Fernando Rodney
Jul. 7, 2018
At this point, it might be more newsworthy to report on a reliever that the Boston Red Sox are not interested in. Minnesota Twins closer Fernando Rodney is the latest name on the Red Sox list in their effort to improve the bullpen. Red Sox general manager Dave Dombrowski is very familiar with Rodney from their time together with the Detroit Tigers. The 41-year-old has enjoyed a bit of a resurgence this year with the Twins. He has a solid 2.97 ERA across 30 1/3 innings and has converted 18 of his 23 save opportunities. Like all relievers the Red Sox are interested in, a trade would seriously hurt their fantasy value. Craig Kimbrel is locked into the closer role, so any bullpen additions would have their save opportunities virtually disappear.
Fernando Rodney Rights The Ship With 18th Save Thursday
Jul. 6, 2018
After blowing two consecutive saves, Minnesota Twins closer Fernando Rodney was able to secure his team's victory on Thursday. The Twins beat the Baltimore Orioles 5-2, and Rodney earned his 18th save of the season. He came in the game in the ninth inning and struck out the struggling Chris Davis to start his outing. He then got Danny Valencia to ground out and struck out Jonathan Schoop to end the game. The Twins played a clean game, riding the coattails of starting pitcher Aaron Slegers' strong six-inning performance. Rodney has been this kind of closer throughout his career; he'll go on sparkling streaks and then blow saves in bunches before getting things in order again. Owners should keep him plugged into lineups, though he doesn't get many chances on this struggling Twins team.

Fernando Rodney Blows Another Save On Monday
Jul. 3, 2018
Minnesota Twins closer Fernando Rodney suffered his second straight blown save on Monday. After allowing the Chicago White Sox to tie the game in the ninth on June 28, he allowed the same to happen against the Milwaukee Brewers. He hadn't blown a save since April 26 before these latest two. Rodney doesn't get many opportunities with the Twins being offensively-challenged most of the season, but his fantasy owners can't be happy that something like this happens when he does get a chance to save a game. That said, at least Rodney has been able to protect the tie in these two instances, so his job as closer isn't in peril. The Twins' series continues with the Brewers on Tuesday.

Fernando Rodney Pitches Clean Ninth Against Red Sox
Jun. 20, 2018
Minnesota Twins closer Fernando Rodney erased any chances the Boston Red Sox had of winning on Wednesday. The veteran right hander got Rafael Devers to fly out before Brock Holt and Christian Vazquez each grounded out to end the game. At 41 years old, Rodney is still one of the more consistent closers in the game. He now has 16 saves on the season and has struck out 26 batters in 25.1 innings. Fantasy owners probably just wish he had more chances to secure more saves.

Fernando Rodney Nails Down 12th Save
Jun. 2, 2018
Minnesota Twins closer Fernando Rodney pitched a perfect ninth inning on Friday to preserve a 7-4 win over the Cleveland Indians. He picked up the save, giving him 12 in 15 chances while posting a 2.84 ERA and 18 strikeouts in 19 innings. It has been a solid season for Rodney, who appeared in danger of losing his role after three blown saves back in mid-April. As long as he continues to convert most of his save opportunities, he should remain a solid, mid-tier fantasy closer this season.

Fernando Rodney Nails Down Tenth Save
May. 22, 2018
Minnesota Twins closer Fernando Rodney pitched a perfect ninth inning on Monday to preserve a 4-2 win over the Detroit Tigers. He did not record a strikeout en route to converting 10 saves in 13 chances this season. Rodney, who looked to be on shaky ground after blowing three saves in 17 days in mid-April, has resolidified his role as the team's closer. He should remain a solid source of saves in fantasy leagues going forward while sprinkling in a decent number of strikeouts along the way.

Fernando Rodney Nails Down Seventh Save
May. 13, 2018
Minnesota Twins closer Fernando Rodney picked up his seventh save of the season on Saturday, preserving a 5-3 win over the Los Angeles Angels. Rodney pitched a scoreless 12th inning for the save, although it was far from a perfect frame as Rodney had to pitch around two walks. Rodney now has a 1-2 record, 3.29 ERA, and 12 strikeouts in 15 appearances.
Fernando Rodney Nails Down Fifth Save
May. 7, 2018
Minnesota Twins closer Fernando Rodney locked down his fifth save of the season on Sunday, preserving a 5-3 win over the Chicago White Sox. Rodney pitched a perfect ninth, notching one strikeout to earn his fifth save in eight chances. The 41-year-old closer found himself on shaky ground in mid April when he blew three saves in a span of two weeks, but he's solidified his role with five straight scoreless outings now. On the season, Rodney has a 3.86 ERA, five saves, and a 12/5 K/BB ratio in 13 innings of work. Despite the recent success, Rodney's fantasy owners will have to live with the possibility of former closer and current Minnesota setup man Addison Reed breathing down Rodney's neck all season.

Fernando Rodney Locks Down Third Save Saturday
Apr. 28, 2018
Minnesota Twins closer Fernando Rodney pitched a scoreless ninth on Saturday to nail down his third save of the season, preserving a 3-1 win over the Cincinnati Reds. It was far from a perfect inning as Rodney had to work around two walks in the frame. Rodney's grasp on the ninth-inning role had gotten shaky after he blew two saves over the past week but Saturday's outing should help him keep the role for at least a bit longer. It doesn't help matters for Rodney that former closer Addison Reed is operating as the Twins' setup man. Rodney is now 3-of-6 in save chances with a 5.87 ERA in his first season with the Twins.

Fernando Rodney Blows Third Save Thursday
Apr. 26, 2018
Minnesota Twins closer Fernando Rodney blew his third save of the season on Thursday, allowing the New York Yankees to score three runs (two earned) on two hits. He did not record an out in the game as Gary Sanchez hit a walk-off, three-run homer. Rodney now has just two saves in five chances with a 6.75 ERA in his first season with the team. The Twins have former closer Addison Reed operating as their setup man, but he would presumably be the team's new closer if manager Paul Molitor decides to make a change. Rodney hasn't lost his job yet but he could be on thin ice going forward.

Fernando Rodney Blows First Save; Winds Up With Win
Apr. 11, 2018
Minnesota Twins closer Fernando Rodney blew his first save of the season on Wednesday against the Houston Astros. Rodney came on in the top of the ninth inning in an 8-6 game and allowed Houston to score two runs on two singles and a throwing error by second baseman Brian Dozier. Rodney recovered to finish the inning with the game tied, striking out one batter. He wound up getting his first win of the season when Max Kepler hit a walk-off homer in the bottom of the ninth. Rodney now has a 1-0 record, 3.86 ERA, two saves, and five strikeouts on the season. His propensity to put too many batters on base and allow too many runs to score keeps him from being an elite option at closer but he should see plenty of saves closing for an expected contender such as the Twins.

Fernando Rodney Serves Up Walk-Off Homer On Opening Day
Mar. 29, 2018
Minnesota Twins closer Fernando Rodney had a forgettable debut with his new team. Rodney helped get the Twins out of a two on, one-out jam in the 10th inning but wasn't able to keep it going in the 11th as the first batter he faced, Adam Jones, deposited the ball over the fence for a walk-off win. Rodney finished the night allowing two hits and one run in 2/3 of an inning. The veteran closer should bounce back, although a revamped Twins bullpen featuring former closer Addison Reed in a setup role, could have Rodney on a short leash.
Fernando Rodney
Feb. 2, 2018
Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Fernando Rodney, who will turn 44 years old this March, thinks he can remain effective for several more years. "If you can control the game, it doesn't matter how old you are," Rodney said. "Closing is the situation in the game that I feel most comfortable. I feel like I can do my job." Rodney had a 4.23 ERA and 39 saves in 45 chances while striking out 65 in 55 1/3 innings for Arizona in 2017, and his average fastball velocity of 94-95 mph over the last four seasons is a big reason for his success. He throws his nasty changeup around 40 percent of the time, and opposing batters hit only .148 with a homer against his changeup in 2017. Rodney will open the year as Minnesota's closer. He brings a wealth of experience, having pitched for eight teams over 15 seasons, but his high walk rates make him a volatile fantasy closer and one that could easily be replaced by reliever Addison Reed early in the season.
Fernando Rodney Will Open The Season Closing
Jan. 19, 2018
Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Fernando Rodney will open the season as the team's closer, a fact confirmed by manager Paul Molitor on Friday. The Twins officially signed Addison Reed earlier this week after agreeing to terms with Rodney last month, but the ninth inning belongs to Rodney. Reed is the better bet in 2018 and got a bigger contract than Rodney, but the Twins are probably best off giving the latter a clean frame in the ninth rather than using him as a setup man when he would often have to come in with runners on. Still, it certainly would not be a surprise if the soon-to-be 41-year-old Rodney struggles and ultimately loses his closer job to Reed.

Fernando Rodney Expected To Remain Closer
Jan. 13, 2018
Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Fernando Rodney is expected to remain the team's closer after they signed reliever Addison Reed on Saturday, according to a source. The Twins are honoring their word to Rodney after they signed him, but Reed was signed for more years and more money, so we wouldn't be surprised if he gets more save opportunities than Rodney over the course of the season. Rodney may open the year as the designated ninth-inning man, but he's also much riskier in terms of fantasy, and Reed will be the better choice of the two in the long run.
