The market for relief pitchers has been one of the most interesting aspects to this year’s free agency period. WIth big names going up and coming off the board in mass, options are beginning to dry up. The Red Sox seem to be keeping tabs on Craig Kimbrel while also throwing feelers out to the other pitchers that are available.
With Kimbrel still asking for a King’s Ransom of a contract, teams aren’t biting on the powerful righty. This has opened the market up for other pitchers to get signed ahead of him. In recent weeks big names like Andrew Miller and Joe Kelly have been taken off the board.
