Elias didn't offer any confirmation about signing Kimbrel. Just said that the Orioles were seeking a reliever.
We may be getting ahead of ourselves here.

Nothing finalized until it's finalized, but Olney, Rosenthal, etc all reporting the same thing.

Has there been a physical completed yet, because until that's done I'm not counting on this happening.

But none of those guys are reporting final. They are saying close.

Which is exactly what I linked to in the opening post?

I think people may be thinking you posted this thread in the O's Players section like each Orioles player has. But it's not in that section, yet. It's just in the general Baltimore Orioles talk thread. Makes sense to me. Most of the talk on him is over in the trade deadline thread though, perhaps those should be merged here. Or not, doesn't really matter to me. Things are quiet these days.

Also Tate, who's supposedly healthy.

Honestly, me either. I'm open to becoming one though, I guess. He could help. This signing could also fall flat.
I think they have to try to get some experience. This team is too good not to. At the same time, this FO is seemingly really good at money balling the P staff. I hope they take a couple fliers too, that come cheap.

Hader is a different beast, though a route I'd have pursued. Other than that, I have no complaints about them preferring Kimbrel to Hicks or Stephenson or Robertson. Signing two of these types would be a good idea, IMO. I think we have a lot of pumpkin potential in our returning RP corps, so would like to add more guys with experience to raise the floor a bit even at the risk of overcrowding or having to jettison someone without options.

Totally fine with Kimbrel. He has "it".
Jordan Hicks is not good for those of you wanting to go down that road. Seen enough Cards games in the past to know that. They also yo-yo'd him into a starter's role for a minute that went not good at all. Maybe he needed the change of scenery as his numbers have improved.
But Kimbrel would be my top get given that Hader isn't fitting under the salary cap, like him more than Hicks, real small sample size for Stephenson in his role.
