HoosierSox Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 I don't think they exercise the option unless they know there are teams interested in trading for him. Who is he getting traded to and what for is the question here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who is he getting traded to and what for is the question here. It’s the only way it makes any sense. They have to know. This team (and basically no team) is in a position to have 30 mil tied into 2 RP’s, one of which was an absolute joke in a set up role. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CentralChamps21 Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 It wouldn't have cost them Madrigal + Heuer if there weren't other teams bidding aggressively for Kimbrel in July, and not enough has changed since then to significantly change his market. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tray Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 . Hahn traded Tatis, Jr. , Madrigal, Heuer and Pilkington for less than nothing. The only reason for Hahn to exercise the option on Kimbrel is to try to save face. Please decline the Kimbrel option and just buy talent outright via free agency. 16M should bring in a pretty good player . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is pretty much what it comes down to imo. Watch that team beat the Sox in the World Series with CK recording 4 saves in the series.... Not necessarily "big market," but don't the Cards need a closer? What can they cough up? Edited November 6, 2021 by ScooterMcGee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rays and Reds need a closer but Sox would have to kick in at least half the contract. Depending on how serious the Cubs are about trying to reload quickly they might be interested. Twins also need a closer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of hard to consider the Reds a big market team, and a contending team needing a closer after losing Castellanos and Wade Miley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
