Free agent reliever Craig Kimbrel and the Philadelphia Phillies are in agreement on a one-year, $10 million contract, sources confirmed to ESPN’s Jeff Passan.
The 14-year veteran and eight-time All-Star had an up-and-down first year with the Los Angeles Dodgers last season.
Kimbrel posted a 3.75 ERA and a career-low 27.7% strikeout rate with the Dodgers.
