Nationals Rumors: Craig Kimbrel is a possibility to upgrade the bullpen

Although the Washington Nationals could argue that their bullpen might be set heading into 2019, the front office may have feelers out for another reliever. The latest Nationals rumors have them connected to closer Craig Kimbrel as a possible bullpen upgrade.

Jon Heyman of Fancred Sports reported that Kimbrel is a possibility for the Nationals. The other teams that Heyman mentioned were the Atlanta Braves, Philadelphia Phillies, Boston Red Sox, and an elusive mystery team.

Heyman’s report does sound a little like educated speculation, but Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic has also connected the Nats and Kimbrel before.
