Craig Kimbrel Will Be The Most Coveted Trade Target
Craig Kimbrel is expected to be the most coveted player on the trade market. The Boston Red Sox could be a natural landing spot for Kimbrel, who played in Beantown from 2016-18, but one high-ranking MLB executive speculated that Kimbrel's destination will come down to either the Houston Astros or Oakland Athletics. The hard-throwing right-hander and eight-time All-Star has a 0.59 ERA with 53 strikeouts and 10 walks in 30 2/3 innings in a bounce-back season. He has a $16 million club option in 2022. Ryan Pressly in Houston and Lou Trivino/Jake Diekman in Oakland would be the big losers if Kimbrel landed with either of those teams.
