"Over a 16-year career with nine different teams he spent the majority of his time with the Atlanta Braves, Boston Red Sox, and Chicago Cubs Kimbrel ranks fifth on the all-time saves list with 440 to go with a 2.58 ERA. Last season with the Braves and Houston Astros, the 37-year-old southpaw posted a 2.25 ERA across 14 appearances, which at least suggests that he still has some quality frames left in the tank."
"Over his first nine seasons with the Braves, Boston Red Sox, and San Diego Padres, he owned a 1.91 ERA while averaging 37 saves per season with a .920 WHIP. Over the last seven, which has featured stops at seven different clubs, that ERA is at a swollen 3.83 with an average of 23 saves per year and a 1.204 WHIP."
The Mets are bringing veteran reliever Craig Kimbrel to the organization on a minor-league contract that includes an invitation to major-league camp and a reported $2.5 million salary if he reaches the big-league roster. Kimbrel has a 16-year career across nine teams, spending most time with the Atlanta Braves, Boston Red Sox and Chicago Cubs, and ranks fifth all-time with 440 saves and a 2.58 ERA. He posted a 2.25 ERA in 14 appearances last season with the Braves and Astros. The Mets reshaped their bullpen after Edwin Díaz departed, adding Devin Williams, Luke Weaver and Luis García; Kimbrel provides another late-inning option. His first nine seasons featured elite peripherals (1.91 ERA, .920 WHIP and about 37 saves per year), while the past seven seasons show a 3.83 ERA, roughly 23 saves per year and a 1.204 WHIP.
