The Orioles recall Baker and DFA Kimbrel.
The Orioles’ attempt to repair Craig Kimbrel was unsuccessful. Today, the team declared that it had summoned reliever Bryan Baker from Triple-A Norfolk and assigned Kimbrel for assignment. There are 37 players on the 40-man roster.
Kimbrel has a 5.33 ERA and 1.357 WHIP in 57 games after being scored on in 11 of his last 19 appearances. His season-long walk average of 5.3 per nine innings is the highest since his debut year in 2010.
Last night, he let up six runs, which was two more than his previous career high. Over the course of the 2012 season, the nine-time All-Star gave up just seven runs. At the Winter Meetings, Kimbrel agreed to a deal with the Orioles that paid $12 million this season and included a $13 million club option for 2025. Bonuses for completed and pitched games were added. As soon as the free agency market began, general manager and
executive vice president ike Elias declared that Kimbrel was a top goal. Before taking off from Nashville, the Orioles pursued him aggressively and completed a deal. For closer Félix Bautista, who would miss the season due to Tommy John surgery, they recruited a substitute.
