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.

Devin Williams lost his job as Yankees closer after stumbling repeatedly during his first 10 games with New York.

“It’s disappointing,” Williams said in regard to losing the closer role, per Kuty. “You work for years to get to that point. To have that taken away from you, it’s not a fun feeling. Can’t say it’s undeserved.”
