The hype machine has been kicked into high gear since reports surfaced on Tuesday night that the Milwaukee Brewers were talking to Craig Kimbrel about a contract. That hype has not slowed down.

Heyman notes that the talks are “pretty serious” which implies that they are still ongoing and are not just exploratory conversations.
