They gave up a pretty highly rated prospect or two for him didn't they? They gave up a top 5 prospect from their system. Now they're going to try and get some value back but Kimbrel is owed $16M and is a FA after 2022. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is going to be interesting to see what they want in return because I'm not seeing too many teams are going to fork over a top five prospect for him.

I'm betting AA will be in. He tried to get him from the Cubs. AA isn't going to give up a top prospect though. That's how the Sox got him in the first place. They came in and outbid everyone last minute. falconsd56 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinclair claims it can do it next year but that's been met with skepticism I have a media podcast called Streaming into the Void. We have covered this debacle for a while. They’re planning to launch their own service next year. It will cost the same as Netflix and Disney+ combined. Everybody said Sinclair got a steal for the old Fox rights from Disney. It could literally bankrupt them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknøwn Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Rangers DFA'd Folty. He cleared waivers and declined a minor league spot. He's now a free agent. Folty had a 5.44 ERA in 28 games. He posted a 1.25 whip and allowed 35 HR in 139 innings. His FIP was 6.02, so he was a little worse than showed believe it or not. Texas tried him as a reliever in September. He allowed 4 ER, 6 H in 9 innings out of the bullpen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
