St. Louis Cardinals Rumors: Should the Cardinals pursue Craig Kimbrel?

The St. Louis Cardinals need a closer for the 2019 season. Bud Norris is a free agent, unlikely to be brought back, and forget about Luke Gregerson. Closer-designate-of-the-future Jordan Hicks, is deemed not ready by the front office. Internally, none of the other remaining young arms are being discussed by the Cards as a likely candidate for the position. So where does that leave the Redbirds?

It would appear that the answers lie in the trade or free agent market. There are candidates available and according to SI’s Jon Taylor, the Cardinals should pursue free agent Craig Kimbrel.
