| 1/10/25 | Texas Rangers Boss Outlines Closer-by-Committee Approach This Season. The Texas Rangers had a luxury at the back of their bullpen in Kirby Yates. The All-Star closer came to Texas on a one-year, $4 million deal trying to prove he could still close out games and he ended up being named the team's pitcher of the year. “As we sit here today, (Robert) Garcia and (Chris) Martin, some kind of combination,” he said during an appearance on Foul Territory earlier this week.

| 1/03/25 | Cubs signing a 2-time All-Star closer an 'inevitable' move?. The Chicago Cubs appear poised to challenge for the top spot in the National League Central and reportedly are interested in signing a 33-save hurler before winter's end. Michael Cerami of Bleacher Nation tackles the question of whether Chicago signing more pitching is "inevitable" and mentions free-agent closer Kirby Yates by name. Yates, a one-time dominant closer for the San Diego Padres, spent much of this decade in bullpen limbo after missing out on all of the 2021 season due to injury. The 37-year-old re-emerged last season to save 33 games for the Texas Rangers and earned his second All-Star nod in the process. Source: https://www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb/chicago-cubs/n... |
| 1/01/25 | Cardinals Should Target $10.5 Million Rangers Closer To Boost Bullpen. The St. Louis Cardinals have been quiet this offseason after they were expected to be busy on the trade front. Perhaps they could target ex-Texas Rangers closer Kirby Yates, who The Athletic ranks as one of the top available relievers. Pushed into ninth-inning duty after José Leclerc struggled out of the gate, Yates finished with 33 saves and a career-best 1.17 ERA with the Rangers.

| 12/24/24 | Cubs could be the perfect landing spot for this trio of former Rangers relievers. Kirby Yates, David Robertson and Jose Leclerc all make sense as potential bullpen additions. With the Texas Rangers bringing in former Chicago Cubs outfielder Joc Pederson on a two-year, $37 million deal late Sunday, there are now real questions over when ownership will hit the brakes on spending.

| 12/18/24 | Kirby Yates Is Still An Option! Time Remains For Texas Rangers To Re-Sign All-Star Closer. To assess the market of free-agent Texas Rangers closer Kirby Yates, one has to do some research. Yates is one of the top closers on the market, even at 37 years old. Lately, focus has been on the Chicago Cubs and Detroit Tigers, teams also looking for closer help in 2025. The Tigers — who went on an amazing second-half run to make the playoffs and win their American League Wild Card series — were recently linked to Yates, per KPRC in Houston.
