Mets Promote Veteran Closer Craig Kimbrel to Major League Roster

The New York Mets have officially promoted veteran reliever Craig Kimbrel to the major league roster after he signed a minor-league deal during spring training. The 37-year-old former All-Star is expected to provide immediate support to the bullpen as he attempts to revive his career. President of Baseball Operations David Stearns expressed confidence in the move, stating the team believes Kimbrel can still contribute significantly. To make room for Kimbrel, the Mets DFA'd Richard Lovelady.
