Craig Kimbrel's free agency may be winding to a close.
According to Jon Paul Morosi of MLB.com, the veteran relief pitcher is "moving 'closer' to a decision on where he will sign his next contract, one source said Monday, but the situation remains sufficiently fluid that there is no clear favorite to sign the seven-time All-Star closer."
Morosi also noted that the Milwaukee Brewers have spoken with Kimbrel's agent in recent weeks, though "Milwaukee's need for Kimbrel is tied to the performance and durability of reliever Jeremy Jeffress, who has yet to pitch in the Majors this season because of weakness in his right (throwing) shoulder.
