Veteran Reliever Craig Kimbrel Signs Major-League Deal After Stints in Braves and Rangers Systems

Veteran right-handed reliever Craig Kimbrel, 37, has reportedly signed a major-league contract and is slated to join a club on Friday during their road series. Kimbrel previously spent time in the Atlanta Braves' and Texas Rangers' minor league systems this season, where he posted a 3.69 ERA across 39 innings. This signing aims to bolster a team's bullpen, especially after a key closer's injury, with Kimbrel's specific high-leverage role yet to be determined.
