The Baltimore Orioles have hit the headlines a the 2023 MLB Winter Meetings. According to The Athletic’s (and FOX’s) Ken Rosenthal, the Birds reaches an agreement with free agent closer Craig Kimbrel. The sides reached an agreement for one year, $13 million. Kimbrel has passed his physical and the deal is official.
While waning a bit the past few years, Kimbrel has long been one of the most dominant closers in the game. Last year he posted eight wins and six losses, with an ERA of 3.26. He’s expected to replace injured closer Felix Bautista on the roster, and will presumably be closing games in 2024 – for the Orioles, that is.
