Chris Martin it is.


The answer is Chris Martin.

The question isn’t who is the lead singer for Cold Play? It’s, who is going to be the closer for the Rangers? That’s according to Kennedi Landry of TexasRangers.com.

The next question one might ask is, exactly how successful has he been as a closer? Depends on where you look. He has fourteen saves. That’s total. In his nine-year major league career. Five with Boston, four with Texas, two with Atlanta and the Dodgers, one with the Yankees. But, if you go to the other side of the world, Martin’s two seasons with the Fighters in the Japanese League, he picked up twenty-two saves.

Even then, he wasn’t officially that Nippon Ham’s closer. In Japanese fashion, the Fighters long-time, successful closer was going through a slump and felt he was letting the team down. So, he asked to be sent to the minor leagues. The complied and Martin was thrust into the closer role.

Looks as if he is going to be thrust into that again.
