Washington Nationals: Steer well clear of Craig Kimbrel this winter

We’re now just over a month away from Spring Training and the Washington Nationals report to camp. While the bullpen needs a little work before then, they would be wise to avoid right-hander Craig Kimbrel in their pursuit.

Earlier in the offseason, the Nationals acquired both Trevor Rosenthal and Kyle Barraclough to bolster the back-end of the bullpen. But there are still question marks littered throughout the bullpen that make another addition to the relief corps a wise idea.

The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal suggested that Kimbrel would be a good fit for one of the four NL East teams seemingly in an arms race to win the division in 2019.
