Outside of the MLB Amateur Draft that happened yesterday afternoon, the other biggest storyline that opened up this week was the Free Agency 2.0 version for Dallas Keuchel and Craig Kimbrel. At the stroke of midnight yesterday morning, both free agents were no longer tied to draft pick compensation, which led many to believe that a signing should be coming sooner than later for both. |
