I respect that and yes, it would be a huge blunder if they have to salary dump him. Not that I like Madrigal, but you have to think they could have got something more valuable under control.
I honestly think his excuse will be not feeling comfortable as a set-up man, and a team will take a chance on him. I would bet Mets would take a shot on him over Diaz.
It’s more I don’t get their approach of activating guys off the DL if they’re not 100 pct healthy. It backfired with Engel badly. I’m fine resting Timmy tonight though. The Sox clearly didn’t feel the game was critical.
I said since the day of the trade they would pick up option and trade him. I don’t think there’s a chance in hell Kimbrel will want to be here next year if he’s not closing.
