From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): Everything has changed. Just ask Kenley Jansen. Just ask any closer. Just any pitcher. Performing as a hurler in 2023 is unlike anything these major leaguers had experienced in years past, a point surfaced by the Red Sox closer.

Jansen sits down with Bradfo to share some of his concerns when it comes to how these new rules are impacting both the performance and health of the game. Bradfo also touches base with another closer, Josh Hader of the Padres, to get his perspective on what it has been like closing under these new set of circumstances. It's the kind of insight you will be happy to have.
