The Atlanta Braves have agreed to terms with Craig Kimbrel on a four-year contract, avoiding salary arbitration with the All-Star closer.

The deal is worth at least $42 million, a source told ESPN.com's Jayson Stark.

Nice to see him getting a good payday. Also nice to know the Braves have him for a while.

He's the best closer in baseball. They had to keep him. The contract is a steal for the Braves.

I see the Braves having a good year. I just hope they don't fall down at the end of the year like they always do, Congrats to the Braves and Kimbrel. RTR!

It's nice to see the Braves committing to guys that have come up in their system instead of letting of them walk away as free agents for a change.  I know Kimbrel and Freeman were arbitration eligible for a few more years, but this appears to be a change of strategy for the Braves, and I'm all for it.

Your Dodgers will be loaded this year. I would pick them to take it all.

Totally agree with you, he finally gets a big payday for all that he has done. :clap:
