Red Sox Not Expected To Re-Sign Craig Kimbrel
Dec. 10, 2018
.Boston Red Sox general manager Dave Dombrowski doesn't expect the team to re-sign closer Craig Kimbrel, as they aren't expected to spend big on a ninth-inning man for 2019. Kimbrel is one of the most dominant closers in the game after posting a 2.74 ERA, 13.9 K/9 and 42 saves in 2018 with the BoSox, and he'll be paid handsomely on the open market. The hard-throwing righty had 108 saves over three years in Beantown. With Kimbrel and Joe Kelly possibly departing in free agency, Boston's bullpen would have a completely new look next year. Whichever reliever they sign in free agency would see a big fantasy boost closing out games for a really good team.
Craig Kimbrel Looking For Six-Year Deal
Nov. 30, 2018
.Free-agent closer Craig Kimbrel is said to be looking for a six-year deal in free agency. Kimbrel is one of the most dominant closers in baseball, but even for him that is a high ask. The flamethrowing right-hander was 5-1 with a 2.74 ERA, 0.99 WHIP, 42 saves and 96 strikeouts in 62 1/3 innings in 2018 for the World Champion Red Sox. He'll surely be an elite fantasy closer again in 2019 no matter where he lands.

Phillies Interested In Craig Kimbrel
Nov. 7, 2018
.The Philadelphia Phillies are interested in free-agent closer Craig Kimbrel, according to a source. The Braves and Cardinals are two other teams among the possible suitors for Kimbrel. Kimbrel will turn 31 next May, but he remains one of the most dominant closers in the game, posting a 2.74 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 13.9 K/9 over 63 outings with 42 saves for Boston in 2018. The hard-throwing right-hander has had at least 31 saves in each of the last eight seasons. Closing for an up-and-coming team like the Phillies would once again make him an elite fantasy closer.

Craig Kimbrel Records Four-Out Save In Game 1
Oct. 6, 2018
.Boston Red Sox closer Craig Kimbrel entered Game 1 in the top of the eighth inning with two outs and a 5-3 lead. He retired Andrew McCutchen to end the eighth but gave up a solo home run to Aaron Judge to lead off of the ninth inning. Clinging on to a slim 5-4 lead, Kimbrel then struck out Brett Gardner, Giancarlo Stanton, and Luke Voit in succession to close out the game. It was the second save of Kimbrel's postseason career. He is one of the absolute best closers in the entire league.
Craig Kimbrel Allows Four Run In Non-Save Situation
Sep. 27, 2018
.Boston Red Sox closer Craig Kimbrel entered the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader down 6-3 in the ninth inning. He only recorded a single out while allowing four runs. His control was wild as he issued three walks. The outing ballooned his 2.21 ERA all the way up to 2.79. Regardless, it has still been a productive season from the 30-year-old. Kimbrel converted 42-of-47 save opportunities while recording a scintillating 13.65 K/9. He has reached 31 or more saves in every season since 2011. Kimbrel is one of the best fantasy closer options in the business and will continue to be a stalwart heading into 2019.

Sep. 14, 2018
.Boston Red Sox closer Craig Kimbrel pitched a perfect ninth inning to close out Thursday's 4-3 win over the Toronto Blue Jays. He induced two fly-outs and got Danny Jansen to go down swinging.

He is now up to 40 saves for the season, to go along with a 2.33 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, and 89/28 K/BB. Kimbrel remains an elite closing option for the rest of the season.

Sep. 6, 2018

He has a 2.45 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, and 84/27 K/BB ratio through 55 innings this season. He remains an elite closer option for fantasy purposes.

Craig Kimbrel Picks Up 35th Save of the Season
Aug. 12, 2018
Boston Red Sox star closer Craig Kimbrel closed out the Baltimore Orioles for his 35th save of the campaign on Sunday afternoon. The flamethrowing right was struggling earlier in August but has now put together back-to-back solid performances. It seemed like it would only be a matter of time before Kimbrel found his game again as the 30-year-old has been one of the league's premier closers for the past decade. With the Red Sox flirting with the all-time wins record, he remains one of the best fantasy options at that position.

Craig Kimbrel Blows Save, Picks Up Win on Tuesday
Aug. 8, 2018
Boston Red Sox closer Craig Kimbrel blew his fourth save of the season on Tuesday night against the Toronto Blue Jays. Luckily, the Red Sox managed to put up five runs in the top of the tenth inning and allowed Kimbrel to pick up the win. Kimbrel has been struggling mightily as of late as he has a 6.14 ERA in his last 7 1/3 innings pitched. While Kimbrel's inabilities have not impacted the Red Sox ability to win, they are certainly hurting fantasy owners. Regardless, Kimbrel has been one of the most dominant closers in all of baseball since he has come into the league and he should be able to find his form in the near future.

Craig Kimbrel Protects Win Over Twins Sunday
Jul. 30, 2018
Boston Red Sox closer Craig Kimbrel secured his 33rd save of the season in a 3-0 victory against the Twins. He pitched a clean ninth inning with one strikeout. It was a nice bounce-back from his blown save against these same Twins on Friday. In 45 innings, he has two wins with 64 strikeouts and a 2.20 ERA. The Red Sox offense is good enough that there will be consistent save opportunities for Kimbrel.
Craig Kimbrel Records 33rd Save of Season on Sunday
Jul. 29, 2018

Craig Kimbrel Blows Save Opportunity
Jul. 28, 2018
Boston Red Sox Craig Kimbrel failed to convert a four-out save chance Friday against the Twins. Because of the bullpen struggles, Kimbrel was forced to come on in the eighth inning, when he is only 8-for-12 in save opportunities. The damage was done in the top of the ninth when he walked two batters and then allowed a two-run double to Eddie Rosario. Kimbrel is still an elite closer in a shaky Red Sox bullpen.
Craig Kimbrel Gets 32nd Save
Jul. 24, 2018
Boston Red Sox closer Craig Kimbrel collected his 32nd save in an imperfect outing Monday against the Orioles. Kimbrel came on in the ninth but allowed one run on two hits before locking things down.

Craig Kimbrel Picks Up 23rd Save on Wednesday
Jun. 27, 2018
Boston Red Sox closer Craig Kimbrel was called upon for a four-out save on Wednesday night against the Los Angeles Angels, and he delivered. The Red Sox bullpen was leaky, but Kimbrel was his solid self. The flame-throwing righty walked a single batter and struck out two en route to his 23rd save of the season. He is a model of consistency at the closer position. Kimbrel has a 2.23 ERA through 32 1/3 innings on the year and will continue to rack up saves on a dominant Red Sox team.

May. 22, 2018

After taking Mallex Smith to a 2-2 count, Kimbrel stopped playing around and induced a grounder to secure the victory and his 14th save of the year. Despite an off night, he is still an elite closer.
