You are wanted immediately on the next flight to Denver. Your new employer, the Atlanta Braves, will have a limo waiting to take you to Coors Field and a 3 year/ $54 million contract for you to sign upon your arrival.

Zero teams are going to give up a draft pick to sign him, so he’ll hold out until after the draft. |

All that time in Orlando ... Alex being coy about it during the mid-game TV interviews ... I'm convinced AA and Kimbrel have already agreed to a 3-4 year deal, based on waiting until the day after the draft to sign the paperwork. And I like that approach -- losing a top-75 pick would really be a stiff price to pay. The last time we had picks like this, I think we came away with Anderson, Wentz, and Muller. Would be an interesting way to give the league and their draft-pick-comp system the finger  |

Call him in June but alot of teams might be doing that
Red Flag is how will his location be right off the bat, be careful what you wish for
If he signs late and has a few bad games early he will deserve to be Booed wherever he plays

Is that breaking MLB rules? Kimbrel is a free agent, so AA can discuss whatever he wants with him. If Kimbrel were under contract with another team, that would be breaking rules.
But if nobody's signed paperwork, there's nothing improper about AA and Kimbrel having a gentleman's agreement to sign the paperwork in early June. As a FA, if someone came along before then and made Kimbrel a deal he couldn't refuse, then there's nothing that would prohibit him from signing it.

Do teams lose the draft pick because he's signed with a team during the season instead of before the season started? I'm confused on that part. Since Kimbrel received a QO from the Red Sox, and turned it down, any team that signs him would have to forfeit a draft pick in the 2019 draft. It'd be hard to forfeit a pick after the draft has already taken place. The draft is in June. |

Anyways sounds like a really dumb rule to be punished on. |
