I’d love to see Dave Dombrowski go full send and trade for Craig Kimbrel this month to completely revamp the Philadelphia Phillies bullpen, but I doubt it’s going to happen.
Kimbrel is expensive and the Phillies have neither the prospects nor the money to drop on him. Well, they have the money, but it’s unlikely they’d spend it.
Besides, there’s a much more affordable, more strategic option closer to home.
