According to a tweet from MLB insider Ken Rosenthal, the Milwaukee Brewers are in the midst of making a big addition to their already dangerous bullpen.
#Brewers talking to free-agent closer Craig Kimbrel, sources tell me and @ByRobertMurray.

In 2018, Kimbrel posted a 2.74 ERA with 96 strikeouts and 42 saves in 47 opportunities. His five wins in ‘18 were also tied for his career-high in a season.
If he officially signs with the Brewers, Kimbrel would join Josh Hader in the pen, who just finished the ‘18 season with 143 strikeouts and the NL Reliever of the Year award.
