Craig Kimbrel came into this offseason with some wild expectations. Granted, he was well within his rights to expect the world considering he is one of the two or three best relievers to ever live, still in his prime, hitting free agency for the first time. Still, the rumored six-year, $100 million deal he was seeking at the start of the winter was obviously absurd. If you asked him off the record, I’m sure he’d tell you his side never really expected that deal to come to fruition. It was just a negotiation tactic. It’s better to start too high than start too low and all that jazz.
