Even during the period of April and early May when it seemed as if any game the Chicago Cubs had to use their bullpen, it was going to turn into a loss, there was one name no one; absolutely no one was clamoring for Jed Hoyer to try and acquire. And yet, Craig Kimbrel is officially back in the big leagues, on the roster of a team that is (reportedly) looking to contend for a playoff spot.
The Atlanta Braves’ bullpen is quite the mess, as evidenced by allowing seven runs in the ninth inning in their most recent loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks.
