2 years agoPittsburgh Pirates right-handed pitcher David Bednar blew the save and took the loss on Saturday against the Tampa Bay Rays. Bednar was looking good as usual to begin the ninth, inducing a groundout for the first out followed by strike out to put the Pirates one out away from victory. Unfortunately, it all unraveled from there. Bednar issued two walks and two singles to the Rays, blowing his third save of the season. Even with the bad outing, the 27-year-old has been tremendous all season, posting a 1.78 ERA and 0.88 WHIP while converting 11 of his 14 save opportunities. The Pirates could look to trade Bednar at the trade deadline, and they could certainly get a haul for him, especially considering he is arbitration-eligible for the next 4 seasons. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, this could actually tank his value as he may not be the closer depending on which team he is traded to.--Matt Garon - RotoBaller
