Is there a reason he was so good in 2021 vs being so bad the rest of his career? Any underlying changes? If not, this scares me as I'd rather get Tepera for 2/14 or something.

FriendlyNorthsider Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Get good value for Kimbrel and we’re in business. That’s a very solid deal for Graveman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 I think that's a good deal, I do, it's just hilarious nonetheless. $38 million currently tied into 3 relievers. I think we can buy the Guardians roster with that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maloney.adam Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Kimbrel is going to be traded. Just a matter of when. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Graveman is sorta like a right handed bummer right? Lots of GBs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 I am not familiar enough with Graveman to comment but seems like a lot of years and guaranteed money for someone who has had 1 good (okay amazing) year out of the pen in his entire career. It is puzzling how much money is tied up to the pen at this point. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they just plan on replacing Kimbrel with Tepera and Graveman - so 2 set-up type guys for price of one closer who sucks as a set-up man? Still TONS of money to the bullpen. I will say I like fact that he is a groundball pitcher. He wasn't great in his stint with Houston (when he moved out of the cavernous safeco park). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogan873 Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Was not expecting a deal for Graveman, but I like it. Solidifies the pen and all but guarantees Kimbrel is gone. I wouldn't be surprised if he's traded within the next couple days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baron Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Apparently he found out in 2020 he had a tumor in his spine which was the reason for his switch to a relief role. Less stress on his back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quin Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Sox signing relievers who beat them in the playoffs. Name a more iconic duo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
