The halfway point of the MLB season has arrived, and the closer landscape is shifting as we approach the trade deadline. Josh Hader of the Houston Astros remains the top fantasy closer despite recent struggles, including a home run allowed in his last outing before the break. Andrés Muñoz of the Seattle Mariners, Edwin Díaz of the New York Mets, and Aroldis Chapman of the Boston Red Sox are also among the elite, with Chapman leading in strikeout ratios. As teams prepare for the trade deadline, the Minnesota Twins' Jhoan Duran and Griffin Jax are drawing interest as potential trade pieces, which could reshuffle the closer roles. Other notable mentions include Emmanuel Clase of the Cleveland Guardians and Robert Suarez from the San Diego Padres, both of whom have been reliable in their late-inning assignments.
