Tony Watson Agrees To Terms With The Giants
Feb. 17, 2018
Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports reports that the San Francisco Giants have finalized a contract with free-agent relief pitcher Tony Watson. It has been rumored over the last couple of weeks that this could be a match, and the Giants have found a way to stay under the luxury tax, according to Heyman. Watson started last year as the Pirates closer and was dealt to the Dodgers at the deadline. Aside from leagues that value holds, Watson won't hold much fantasy value in 2018. However, he is a good handcuff for owners who draft closer Mark Melancon.
Several Teams Interested In Tony Watson
Feb. 13, 2018
Free-agent relief pitcher Tony Watson is receiving interest from the Giants, Philles and Red Sox, according to a source close to the situation. There are also other teams interested beyond those three teams. The left-handed reliever pitched for the Pirates and Dodgers in 2017, appearing in 11 playoff games for LA. He gave up just five hits and two earned runs in nine innings in the postseason. While perhaps not closer material, Watson is an effective late-inning reliever that can be a valuable piece for any bullpen.
Tony Watson In Discussion With Giants
Feb. 13, 2018
Free-agent relief pitcher Tony Watson is in "serious contract talks" with the San Francisco Giants, according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today. Watson was linked to the A's last month, but it sounds like the other Bay Area club could be swooping in. The 32-year-old southpaw is one of the better relievers remaining on the market. He put up a 3.38 ERA and 53/20 K/BB ratio over 66 2/3 innings last season between the Pirates and Dodgers.
A's Remain Interested in Tony Watson
Jan. 14, 2018
The Oakland A's are looking to add a left-handed reliever and remain interested in former Dodger Tony Watson. Watson, 32, had a 3.38 ERA and a 1.38 WHIP last season with 53 strikeouts. He would be unlikely to see any saves in Oakland and would only be worth an add in deep leagues that count holds.

Dodgers Fortify Bullpen By Adding Tony Watson
Jul. 31, 2017
The Los Angeles Dodgers acquired left-handed reliever Tony Watson from the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday in exchange for infielder Oneil Cruz and pitcher Angel German. Watson entered the year as the Bucs' closer but struggled and was replaced by Felipe Rivero. He stands with a 3.66 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and weak 6.8 K/9 in 46 2/3 innings. Watson will be used as a lefty setup man in Los Angeles, and he's not worth owning unless he's closing (because of his lack of K's) -- that won't happen with Kenley Jansen around in Dodgers blue. Cruz is only 18 but does have eight home runs in Low-A and plays both third base and shortstop. German is 21 and is sporting a 1.91 ERA and 37 K's in 33 innings at Low-A.

Tampa Bay Rays Interested In Tony Watson
Jul. 18, 2017
The Tampa Bay Rays are interested in Pittsburgh Pirates reliever Tony Watson. Watson has lost his closer job in Pittsburgh and would be unlikely to topple Alex Colome as the Rays closer. It is unknown whether he would gain a late inning role or be more of a floater. He could have some value in leagues that reward holds but he would need to reverse his struggles this season before being viable outside of very deep leagues.

Tony Watson Continues Uncharacteristically Bad Season with Loss
Jul. 2, 2017
Pittsburgh reliever Tony Watson was removed from the closer role weeks ago, but he took another blown save on his resume after allowing the go-ahead run to score in the seventh inning of Sunday's game. Watson gave up a run on three hits in one inning of work, earning the loss. Watson was impeccable in April with seven saves and a 0.96 ERA, but has since seen that figure jump to a 4.03 ERA with only three more saves in the last two months. It's hard to explain how Watson has fallen so hard this year, but opposing batters are hitting .312 against him. He had previously gone six seasons with a high of .232 BAA, back in 2014. He doesn't seem to be getting on track and should be left on waivers until that happens.

Tony Watson Still Struggling in Low Leverage Situations
Jun. 18, 2017
Pittsburgh reliever and former closer Tony Watson gave up a two-out home run to Ian Happ in the ninth inning of Sunday's loss. It came in a meaningless situation, where the Pirates were already down 6-1, but it goes to show that Watson hasn't shaken his struggles since losing the closer job. Watson has allowed eight hits and three runs in his last 4 2/3 innings, none of which have come in save chances or high-pressure situations. If you were still hanging on in hopes he might reclaim the job, you can probably let go. Unless the Pirates decide to trade young fireballer Felipe Rivero by the deadline, which is doubtful, there is little chance Watson earns more saves this season.

Tony Watson Out as Closer, Role to be Shared For Now
Jun. 9, 2017
Pittsburgh Pirates manager Clint Hurdle finally gave in to calls to remove Tony Watson as the Pirates closer. After blowing five save opportunities this year, Watson will now see action in lower-leverage situations. Unfortunately, his replacement will take the form of two players -- relievers Juan Nicasio and Felipe Rivero. Nicasio is a seven-year veteran who spent the first half of last season as a starter before moving back to the bullpen. Rivero is 25 years old and appears on the precipice of becoming a closer if he can establish some trust with the coaching staff. Rivero has struck out 73 batters in 58 1/3 innings since joining Pittsburgh last season and has more upside in fantasy. Both relievers are widely available on the waiver wire, so act fast if you are in need of a few extra saves. Nicasio may see more chances because he's right-handed and has more of a track record.

Pirates Preparing Contingency Plan to Replace Tony Watson
Jun. 8, 2017
Pittsburgh's current closer, Tony Watson, could be moved back to the setup role he occupied for the previous six seasons. Watson blew saves in consecutive games, making a total of five in the early season. Although he hasn't officially been removed from the role, it appears manager Clint Hurdle is preparing accordingly. He stated that the team will not use a committee approach to the role. "Most of the time, it's closer-by-committee if you don't have a closer," Hurdle said. "… I think we've got two guys to look at, if Watson's not the closer, at least to consider." The two guys he referred to would be left-hander Felipe Rivero and right-hander Juan Nicasio. Rivero has been lights-out this season, making him the obvious choice, but Nicasio is more experienced and would leave Rivero for LvL matchups. Hopefully this situation clears up over the weekend.

Tony Watson Does it Again, Blows Save Chance
Jun. 8, 2017
Just hours after getting a vote of confidence from his manager, Pittsburgh closer Tony Watson did the same thing as last night, blowing a save chance in the bottom of the ninth. This time it was a two-run shot off the bat of Trey Mancini that tied the game before the Orioles won the game in 11 innings. The Pirates will almost have no choice but to pull Watson from the closer job now that he has five blown saves and 12 earned runs allowed in his last 14 innings. It's still premature to drop him in fantasy leagues, but at the very least he needs to be benched before he does further damage to your ERA.

Tony Watson Can't Hold Two-Run Lead in Ninth
Jun. 6, 2017
Pittsburgh Pirates closer Tony Watson cost the Pirates another game on Tuesday by coughing up a two-run lead in the bottom of the ninth inning. Baltimore would go on to win the game in the 10th. It goes down as Watson's fourth blown save of the year, raising his ERA to 3.91. Meanwhile, setup man Felipe Rivero pitched 1 1/3 scoreless frames just prior to the ninth, lowering his ERA to 0.60. It would be wise to stash Rivero now if you are in need of saves or are a Watson owner, as a change could be imminent.
Tony Watson Blows Save, Earns Win Anyway
May. 30, 2017
Pittsburgh Pirates closer Tony Watson took his third blown save of the season on Monday yet improved his record to 4-1. Entering the top of the ninth with a 3-1 lead, Watson gave up a two-run home run to Diamondbacks catcher Chris Iannetta with two outs. Luckily, he was bailed out by outfielder Andrew McCutchen in the bottom half of the frame, as Cutch hit a homer of his own. Watson only gave up one run in all of April but has been increasingly shaky throughout May with nine runs allowed in 13 innings. It doesn't appear a change at closer is imminent in Pittsburgh, but a couple more outings like this could force manager Clint Hurdle's hand. Relievers Felipe Rivero and Daniel Hudson would be the top handcuffs to own.

Tony Watson Can't Hold on in Ninth Inning
May. 24, 2017
Pittsburgh Pirates closer Tony Watson played the role of goat on Tuesday night, blowing another save and taking his first loss of the season. After a lengthy rain delay and a comeback by the Pirates in the top of the ninth to take the lead, he promptly blew the game in the bottom half of the inning. Watson gave up three hits, including a walk-off single by Pittsburgh's new nemesis, Matt Adams. Watson was solid in April, allowing one run in 9 1/3 innings, but May has been a different story. He's allowed a total of seven runs in his last seven appearances with a .353 average against in the last seven days. He's a shaky must-hold until he loses the closer job in Pittsburgh. Relief pitcher Felipe Rivero would seem to be the top speculative handcuff.

Tony Watson Pitches Clean Ninth for Ninth Save
May. 20, 2017
Pittsburgh Pirates closer Tony Watson recovered from a disastrous outing yesterday to pitch a perfect ninth inning on Saturday. Watson closed out the Phillies with his first 1-2-3 inning of the 2017 season. He now has nine saves to go along with a 2.89 ERA. The downside is a 1.55 WHIP, as Watson has given up 22 hits over 18 2/3 innings. It would take a few more bad outings for Watson to lose his grip on the closer's job, but he'll need to miss more bats in order to ensure that scenario doesn't happen. Relief pitcher Felipe Rivero is the handcuff to Watson in deeper leagues.
Tony Watson Gives Up Three-Run Blast in Mop-Up Duty
May. 19, 2017
Pittsburgh Pirates closer Tony Watson entered Friday's game in the ninth inning with the Pirates already down by two runs. He promptly allowed a three-run home run to Phillies catcher Cameron Rupp that provided all the insurance the Phillies would need. Although it doesn't go down as a blown save, it did raise Watson's ratios to less-than-savory levels, with a 3.06 ERA and 1.56 WHIP. His career averages are lower across the board in nearly every category, but then again he was always used in the seventh and eighth inning up until the second half of 2016. He is still worth holding onto in any league that counts saves, but it wouldn't hurt to keep reliever Felipe Rivero on a watch list.

Tony Watson Gets First Blown Save of 2017
May. 10, 2017
Pittsburgh Pirates closer Tony Watson had been impeccable in save situations until the Dodgers came along. Dodgers rookie sensation Cody Bellinger drove in the game-tying run in the bottom of the ninth inning Tuesday, saddling Watson with his first blown save of the season. Relief pitcher Daniel Hudson completed the comeback by allowing the Dodgers to score in the 10th inning, taking the loss. Watson had been excellent so far, entering the game with a 0.77 ERA that only rose to 1.32. Consider this a minor bump in the road.
