MLB world disagrees with list of top 10 relievers in baseball right now: "All-Star Jordan Romano" "This is Josh Hader erasure"

There are a lot of high octane relievers in the MLB. The arm talent on display throughout baseball has never been better. There are so many talented pitchers that there's just no room for them in most rotations, which forces them to the bullpen, making it much stronger in the process.

MLB Network has shared a list of the top relievers in baseball right now, with familiar names up and down the list.

The list was in order: Edwin Diaz, Emmanuel Clase, Devin Williams, Evan Phillips, Jhoan Duran, Ryan Pressly, Andres Munoz, Liam Hendriks, Jason Adam and Ryan Helsley.

No list is ever going to satisfy all fans. Every team has a reliever that fans believe should be on the list. That's the nature of these lists and they're arguably designed to agitate fans.

Nevertheless, most of the MLB world has voiced their disagreement with this particular list.

The MLB world is not too pleased with this list. Relievers like Diaz, Clase and Duran certainly deserve to be there, but the fans believe many deserving names were left off.

Clay Holmes and Jordan Romano were All-Stars last season. Josh Hader has long been one of the most dominant relievers, even though he had a down year with the San Diego Padres.

Baseball fans will never be able to unite around who is the best in almost any fashion, and they've proven that again here.
