It’s sad that only Braves fans will have positive memories of him.
Phillies fans! Dodgers fans! GET IN HERE!
They were warned but didn’t listen. Only path forward for Kimbrel is returning to Atlanta to recapture that AA former Braves magic
36 years old. Played for 8 teams.
Who’s next?
He’ll get a chance next spring, but this might be it. The end comes fast for relievers, because they don’t have a lot of room to fall before they’re unplayable.
O’s are going to suddenly fix all their issues now, I’ll put money on it.
I’m glad we traded him during his “resurgence”.
I can’t believe they actually did it. Hopefully this shows they’re willing to own up to a few mistakes. Either way, wish we would’ve dropped kimbreL before Irvin
It was Elias’ dumbest move signing him in the first place
Should’ve been this and not Irvin a few days ago.
Kimbrel was a key part of our success in the first half, even with a few hiccups. Second half he fell off a cliff. I have never seen a worse pitcher get consistent chances other than Ubaldo Jimenez. Good riddance
Dave Dombrowski has the chance to do the least funny thing ever.
Dammit! Who taught the Orioles pattern recognition?!
Ned Yost 🤝Craig Kimbrel
Getting fired 2 weeks before the playoffs
And everyone clapped!
Tough to see one of the all time greats at his position go out like this
Still a better save conversion rate than Clay Holmes this season.
A few months ago, we were having discussions about who between Clay Holmes and Craig Kimbrel should have gotten into the All-Star Game .
How things have changed .
He’s had a great career but there comes a time when you have to admit it’s time to hang it up. But then again, if teams are silly enough to offer him millions of dollars to pitch poorly, why not?
Craig Kimbrel died so we could build a franchise.
LMAO. The O’s basically said “Listen bro, we’re not even gonna think about using you this post season so let’s go our separate ways”
Brutal
nah they should keep him, he gets extra special in the playoffs.

Do you guys think he’ll be on the postseason roster still /s
The highs and lows for Kimbrel the past like 6 years are so crazy
I think… I think there will be a party here…
Giving up 6 ER to the 2024 Giants is definitely deserving of a DFA.
can he start?
lol
lmao even
I’m impressed he lasted this long
i was like i know he hasn’t been as good but no way he’s that bad and then i check baseball reference [and it really is that bad yikes](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/k/kimbrcr01.shtml)
White Sox legend
