Victor Vodnik is a candidate to handle save opportunities for the Rockies to begin the season, per Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post. Vodnik tied for second on the team with nine saves in 2024 but struggled with command, posting a 1.48 WHIP and an 11.6% walk rate.

The Rockies’ closer role is unsettled, making Vodnik a potential speculative add in deep leagues, though he’ll need to show improved control to maintain the job long-term.
