Baseball Primer Newsblog — The Best News Links from the Baseball Newsstand Friday, September 27, 2019Theo Epstein: Craig Kimbrel’s late arrival was the ‘single biggest reason’ for his struggles
This feels like a rather passive way of describing how that situation came into being, doesn’t it?

1. Nasty Nate Posted: September 27, 2019 at 09:40 AM (#5883590)That's pretty much what he did in 10.2 PS innings last year, ERA 5.91, WHIP 1.603. Somehow he was 6-for-6 in save opportunities, though we don't know how many Bosox fans had cardiac issues while he was doing that.
They could have signed Kimbrel in the off-season.
Yikes, he's allowed 9 HR in 20 innings? That's even worse than Diaz.
Also, "late arrival" didn't seem to affect Keuchel that much (his FIP was higher this year than in recent seasons, but ERA was in line). Maybe it's different for a closer, as Theo implies.
Or maybe it's different for different players. Given that they're actually different people and all.
He was asking for $100 Million for 5 or 6 years. That could and did make every team passive. Fortunately for them.
