Craig Kimbrel Signs With Rangers
Craig Kimbrel Signs With Rangers originally appeared on Athlon Sports. On Saturday, the Atlanta Braves designated veteran reliever Craig Kimbrel for assignment. This was right after the 37-year-old made his first major-league appearance of the season on Friday against the San Francisco Giants, where he allowed one hit and one walk. He also recorded one strikeout. Advertisement After clearing waivers, Kimbrel elected to become a free agent rather than being sent down to Triple-A by the Braves. Thus, this marked the end of the reunion between the Braves and Kimbrel. Now, the nine-time All-Star has already found his new home. According to The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal, Kimbrel has signed a minor-league contract with the Texas Rangers. Craig Kimbrel in a relief appearance with the Atlanta Braves in June Edwards-Imagn Images Kimbrel will now provide the Rangers' pitching depth with another experienced reliever. He will look to impress with the Rangers in hopes of landing a call-up to their major league roster. Kimbrel spent this past season with the Baltimore Orioles, and it was undoubtedly a rough year for the veteran. In 57 games with the American League East team, he had a 7-5 record, a 5.33 ERA, and 73 strikeouts. Advertisement Kimbrel has appeared in 838 career MLB games split between the San Diego Padres, Boston Red Sox, Chicago Cubs, Chicago White Sox, Los Angeles Dodgers, Philadelphia Phillies, Orioles, and Braves, where he has a 56-47 record, a 2.59 ERA, and 440 saves.

Phillies Urged to Target Rockies' Breakout Reliever Jake Bird for Bullpen Help
Phillies Urged to Target Rockies' Breakout Reliever Jake Bird for Bullpen Help originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Philadelphia Phillies are positioned to be among the most aggressive buyers at the 2025 MLB trade deadline, with bullpen help sitting squarely atop their wish list. Their relief corps has been a major weakness this season, ranking 25th in the league with a 4.56 ERA. Advertisement The urgency to add reinforcements has only intensified following the suspension of closer José Alvarado, who was handed an 80-game ban and is no longer eligible for postseason play. In his absence, the Phillies have turned to former All-Star Jordan Romano, but the results have been troubling. Romano has struggled mightily, posting a 7.71 ERA across 23.1 innings while allowing 28 hits and 12 walks. Despite the bullpen issues, Philadelphia remains firmly in the thick of the playoff hunt, just 4.5 games behind the first-place New York Mets in the NL East and well-positioned in the Wild Card race. But if they want to survive the second-half grind and make a legitimate push in October, upgrades are essential. One potential solution? Jake Bird of the Colorado Rockies. Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Jake Bird (59) throws a pitch against the San Francisco Giants during the seventh inning at Oracle Yamashita-Imagn Images Sports Illustrated's Dylan Sampson recently identified the 29-year-old right-hander as a logical fit for the Phillies. Bird has been a bright spot in an otherwise underwhelming Rockies bullpen. Although he will not fill the need for a closer, he can provide pivotal middle-relief innings to bridge the gap to whoever is locking down late innings for Philadelphia at the time. Advertisement Bird is having a breakout season with Colorado, totaling a 1.49 ERA and 45 strikeouts across 36.1 innings. Even his splits grade out well with a 0.45 ERA at Coors Field and a 2.76 ERA on the road. He may not be the biggest name or the most sought-after, but Bird has the making of a top under-the-radar at this year's deadline.

Mets Named 'Great Landing Spot' for $50 Million All-Star
Mets Named 'Great Landing Spot' for $50 Million All-Star originally appeared on Athlon Sports. With less than two months to go before the July 31 trade deadline, MLB teams are all taking a hard look at where they are, and how they might be able to improve. Advertisement The NL-East leading New York Mets, owners of the best record (42-24) in the National League, are no exception. In an article published Tuesday, suggesting what all 30 teams must do prior to the deadline, ESPN MLB writer Bradford Doolittle suggested the Mets need to asses center field. "When the Mets acquired Jose Siri during the offseason, it seemed likely that Siri was a stopgap solution while New York waited on some of its outfield prospects to mature." Doolittle wrote. "Tyrone Taylor has logged the most time in center, but he's best suited for a complementary role. Among the prospects, Drew Gilbert is in Triple-A, but hasn't hit there so far. Thus, center is an obvious position of need for New York, which seems like a great landing spot for Luis Robert Jr." Chicago White Sox center fielder Luis Robert Jr. (88) catches a fly ballMatt Marton-Imagn Images Robert Jr., who signed a six-year, $50 million deal with the White Sox in 2020, has long been the subject of trade rumors, despite his uncharacteristic performance at the plate this season. Advertisement Marred in a 2-for-24 slump over his last seven games, Robert Jr. is slashing .177/.265/.281 with five home runs and 24 RBIs this season. But the 27-year old has shown flashes of greatness during his six years with the White Sox, making him one of the most coveted center fielders as the deadline approaches. In 2023, Robert Jr. hit .264 with 38 home runs and 80 RBIs, was named an All-Star, and took home a Silver Slugger Award. The center fielder also has the ability to be a menace on the base paths, swiping 90 bases throughout his career, including 21 this season. The Mets however, weren't the only team Doolittle mentioned that could make a move on Robert Jr. The San Diego Padres could be looking to upgrade in left field.
