I'm hoping something along the lines of 1 year/$20 million would get him to Milwaukee. Local beat writer thinks the Brewers are already stretched thin payroll wise, but he also said that before they dropped $27 million on Grandal and Moustakas. I don't think the Brewers are afraid to stretch their payroll into the $150 million range as a large chunk of these aren't long-term commitments. The window is wide open but the division will be more fierce this year with the Cards adding Goldschmidt and the Reds putting in an effort to win baseball games.
Adding Kimbrel to the back end of that bullpen would help cover up the mediocrity that is the starting pitching. Kimbrel, Hader, and Knebel would be a nice trio at the back end, especially considering Jeremy Jeffress came out throwing 85 MPH this spring and is going to start on the IL (I almost wrote DL). Let's see what happens....
