"I am going to stay down here in Florida and stay ready. My goal was to make the Opening Day roster. I am a little disappointed in that, but that is all on me."
"Kimbrel posted a 4.50 ERA during the exhibition slate while working on a new arsenal of pitches that includes a changeup and a cutter."
"He ranks fourth in MLB history with 440 career saves, and still potentially provides a late-inning option for the Mets should their initial vision for the bullpen come undone."
Craig Kimbrel, a veteran reliever, will stay with the Mets after not making the Opening Day roster. He was informed that the final bullpen spot went to either Bryan Hudson or Richard Lovelady. Kimbrel plans to continue training in Florida, expressing disappointment but taking responsibility for not making the team. He signed a minor-league deal with the Mets and had a 4.50 ERA during spring training while developing new pitches. Kimbrel ranks fourth in MLB history with 440 career saves and remains a potential late-inning option for the Mets.
