Show Notes
The New York Mets have signed veteran reliever Craig Kimbrel to a minor-league deal, aiming to strengthen their bullpen for a World Series run in 2026. Despite his age and declining fastball velocity, Kimbrels sharp breaking pitches and impressive strikeout rate make him a valuable addition. His recent Spring Training performance, featuring a fastball hitting 92-93 mph and quality breaking balls, has Mets manager Carlos Mendoza optimistic about his potential. Kimbrel is not guaranteed a spot on the Opening Day roster but could become a reliable late-inning option if he improves his command and location.
