Craig Kimbrel, who ranks second in save rankings among active major leaguers, continues his active career with the Baltimore Orioles.

Multiple local media outlets, including MLB.com, reported on the 7th (Korean time) that the Baltimore Orioles signed a contract with Craig Kimbrel. According to reports, Kimbrel's contract is worth $13 million (about 17.1 billion won) for one year.

Specifically, Kimbrel's contract with Baltimore includes a buyout of $1 million (approximately 1.3 billion won). Therefore, the annual salary for the 2024 season is $12 million (about 15.7 billion won). And there is a $13 million club option for the 2025 season. As a result, Kimbrel established himself as the highest-paid player in Baltimore, surpassing Kyle Gibson ($10 million), who recently moved to a new destination.

Kimbrel, who was selected by the Atlanta Braves with the 96th overall pick in the third round of the 2008 rookie draft, debuted in the big leagues for the first time in 2010. Kim Brel, who played an active role as a bullpen pitcher from the start of his debut, achieved outstanding results of 4 wins, undefeated, 2 holds, 1 save, and an earned run average of 0.44 in 21 games in the first year, and began to take charge of Atlanta's 'back door' in earnest the following year. And in 2011, he rose to stardom by winning the National League's 'King of Saves' title by recording 4 wins, 3 losses, 46 saves, and an ERA of 2.10 in 79 games.
