Philadelphia Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski saw up close what Craig Kimbrel could provide a bullpen when they won a World Series title with the Boston Red Sox in 2018.<\/p>\n

Now, Dombrowski hopes the veteran right-hander can make a similar impact for the Phillies next season.<\/p>\n

Philadelphia reportedly signed<\/a> Kimbrel to a one-year deals<\/a> worth $10 million Friday, according to The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal and ESPN’s Jeff Passan.<\/p>\n

The Phillies will be Kimbrel’s seventh team of his major league career as he spent last season pitching for the Los Angeles Dodgers, where he posted a 6-7 record along with a 3.75 ERA and 22 saves.<\/p>\n

The 34-year-old Kimbrel is an eight-time All-Star, including earning the accolade for all three years he was with the Red Sox from 2016-18, but he hasn’t pitched to that level the last couple of years. After winning a World Series with Boston, Kimbrel pitched for the Chicago Cubs for two-plus seasons while also having a brief stint with the Chicago White Sox.<\/p>\n

The addition of Kimbrel will help bolster Philadelphia’s bullpen as it looks to get back to the World Series after falling short in the Fall Classic to the Houston Astros.<\/p>\n

That’s clearly Dombrowski’s goal as he already spent big on Trea Turner while also bringing in former Red Sox reliever Matt Strahm as well as starting pitcher Tijuan Walker.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
