Probably one of the most tossed-up positions by the network every season, this year is no different with half the roster made up of newcomers: Pete Fairbanks, Bryan Abreu, David Bednar, Chris Martin and Jose Alvarado.
Last year's No. 1 reliever, Edwin Diaz of the New York Mets, is now ranked sixth, considering a return to action this season after being sidelined all season. 2023.
The main interested party's objective is to return to the top of the list in 2024 and dislodge Devin Williams from the Milwaukee Brewers, a model of consistency in recent years.
Note that Houston Astros newcomer Josh Hader and Cleveland Guardians reliever Emmanuel Clase are not among the choices of the American network's experts. Difficult to explain…

Experts draw on past player performance, a number of offensive and defensive metrics, advanced statistics and traditional data, as well as analysis from the network's research team.
The MLB Network roundup is now complete and seeing this latest ranking, maybe it was time to move on.
