    Building a Bullpen, 2019 edition

    Just spitballing here, but I'm wondering what the AAV implications would be for a scenario in which we offer Kimbrel a 1 year deal that keeps us below the threshold (1 year, 7 million for the sake of argument). However, we add player options for 2020 and 2021 at 19m per year....maybe 2022 at...
