Going into this free agency period one of the biggest names on the board was going to be Red Sox closer Craig Kimbrel. Coming off a good sting in Boston and winning a World Series should’ve made Kimbrel a hot commodity.

Other big name free agents like Manny Machado and Bryce Harper were both scooped up within the last few days, leaving Kimbrel as the last big-name domino yet to fall. There could be a few factors leading to why Craig isn’t getting the attention we all thought he would going into this winter.
