Mets Sign Veteran Closer Craig Kimbrel to Minor League Deal

The New York Mets have signed veteran closer Craig Kimbrel to a minor league deal with an invitation to major league spring training. The potential Hall of Famer, who ranks fifth all-time with 440 saves, could help fortify a Mets bullpen facing significant turnover. While his dominance has waned since 2019, Kimbrel posted a 2.25 ERA in 12.0 innings with two teams last season. He will compete for a spot, offering a chance to provide solid relief innings if he makes the major league roster.
