The Chicago White Sox are open to moving reliever Craig Kimbrel days after picking up his $16 million contract option for 2022.

"We view him as a potentially impactful reliever as he's been for the vast majority of his career," White Sox general manager Rick Hahn said Tuesday on Day 1 of the GM meetings in Southern California. "We're not alone in that opinion.

"What we have to figure out is if it makes the most sense to have Craig in a White Sox uniform going forward or is there a better use of that spot and him perhaps via trade."
