SoxAce Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 2 of the last 3 years Joe Kelly has been on World Series teams and won. Maybe he is our good luck charm. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerksticks Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I think we’re going to get a nice haul for Kimbrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EloyJenkins Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 The signing is fine, but money really does matter here. With volatile bullpens this one could look terrible this year and amazing in 2023. I really do like his fire and passion (cliche, i know) and the postseason experience is very nice.

2Deep Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I cant believe some of you bitching about too many good arms in bullpen. This is a good signing. Kimbrel is getting traded for another asset soon 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VAfan Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Let me be one of the only ones on this thread to say that even with this signing, I think the Sox will not trade Kimbrel for now. Why not? 1. His value is too low. Any trade would be mostly a salary dump, not netting the Sox much of anything in return. 2. The Sox signed their 2B, so Kimbrel isn't going in a package for a new 2B. 3. Kimbrel wouldn't net a better RF than what we already have. 4. Kimbrel also wouldn't net starting pitcher depth of any quality. Conclusion? Kimbrel has the biggest upside of anything you could swap him for, so to trade him might save money, but it would make the team worse.

mac9001 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 (edited) On Kimbrel, that's probably a fair assessment. His value might be higher once a team is in desperate need of a proven closer and the Sox can wait for the right offer.

maxjusttyped Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 It'll be fascinating to see what the Sox actually get for Kimbrel considering Segura and McNeil likely aren't happening. Upper minors pitching depth might actually make the most sense at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vote4Pedro Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I still would like them to add Tepera if Kimbrel is traded….just not a believer still in Crochet, wish that Velocity came back last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Jeurys Familia got $6 million from the Phillies with incentives adding up to $7 million. I'd rather have Kelly at $8.5 million/year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
