Braves Unlikely to Land Dallas Keuchel or Craig Kimbrel
5 years agoFree agent starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel and relief pitcher Craig Kimbrel remain unsigned Wednesday with the draft underway, and it appears it won't be the Atlanta Braves who change either player's employment status. Atlanta is interested in Keuchel but not in active negotiations with him, while they find Kimbrel's asking price too high. Atlanta would be a good landing spot for either player for fantasy purposes, especially Kimbrel, but they appear to be on the outside looking in. Keuchel in particular appears likely to end up in New York at this point, although he could struggle at that park. Nevertheless he will be worth owning in standard mixed leagues when he signs. Kimbrel should be owned now.
