If Kimbrel wins the arbitration hearing with the Braves I think that will guarantee that he will be traded sometime in the next 2 winters.

$9M in arb1 means he will likely approach $20M by arb3. No way the Braves can afford that.

Braves taking 3 players to Arb Hearings

Kimbrel requested 9 mil....ATL offered 6.5
Freeman requested 5.75....ATL offered 4.5
Heyward requested 5.5......ATL offered 5.2

yes, the Braves are going to ARB over 300K to possibly our most complete player

and btw, i would trade Kimbrel's arse tomorrow!!! 9 mil in ARB1??? That's beyond insane!!

With our mediocre farm at the moment, and BJ's contract killing the budget for the next few years....I'd say trading Kimbrel should be a no brainer

Wow. Can't afford to pay a closer that much money with our crappy TV deal. I think you have to put him on the block while he is still under team control for multiple seasons. You know someone will overpay for him.

EOF signs with the A's. 2 yrs/$7M.

Didn't really need him tbh.

Avilan+Vazquez+Venters/Wood should do from the left side.

Would have been nice if he had taken a discount/1 yr deal, but I'm fine with this.

2 years/$7MM could still be a bargain though

Probably will be more like 1.3 yrs/$7M. Still may be worth it though.

All depends on his health. Avoiding 2016 obligations in FA is all I really cared about this offseason.

Looks solid.

When should we know anything about whether Kimbrel gets 9m or 6m?
