MLB Fans React to Craig Kimbrel’s Major Career Move After Braves Release

Life can be hectic for MLB relief pitchers, and former Atlanta Braves hurler Craig Kimbrel is a prime example. The 37-year-old has 440 career saves, second only to Los Angeles Angels closer Kenley Jansen among active players, but that hasn't stopped him from bouncing around the league.

Kimbrel has played for a different squad each season ever since the Chicago Cubs traded him to the Chicago White Sox in 2021. The nine-time All-Star pitched for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2022, the Philadelphia Phillies in 2023, and the Baltimore Orioles in 2024 before tossing one inning for the Braves this season.
