Expert Note
View More NotesHendriks showed last year that his 2019 breakout season was not a fluke, as he improved on just about all of his numbers. Not only did he put up 14 saves in the shortened season, but he dropped his ERA to 1.78, his WHIP to 0.67, and his walk rate to just 3.3%. In short, there's nothing negative you can possibly take away from his 2020 season. Despite moving to a worse park with the White Sox, Hendriks is, without question one of the top closers in fantasy, and should be either the first or second (behind only Josh Hader) relief pitcher drafted.

Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports free agent closer Liam Hendriks has reached a deal with the Chicago White Sox.
Fantasy Impact
The contract is for three years and $39 million. However, both Hendriks’ fourth-year option as well as his buyout are worth $15 million, which brings the total value of the contract up to $54 million. The 31-year-old Hendriks has been fantastic in each of the past two seasons. In 25 1/3 innings during the shortened 2020 campaign, Hendriks posted a 1.78 ERA with an excellent 37:3 K:BB ratio. Expect him to serve as the locked-in closer for Chicago this year, which makes him a top-five reliever for fantasy baseball purposes.
