Trevor Hoffman, one of the greatest closers of all time, lost his job briefly with the Brewers in 2010 during a difficult final season. He returned to earn his 600th career save before retiring.

Luke Weaver, who took over as closer last September when Clay Holmes faltered, will get most of the opportunities to finish tight games.
