The Nationals are reportedly the most likely team to land Padres closer Craig Kimbrel despite their continued interest in Reds counterpart Aroldis Chapman.
General manager Mike Rizzo appears determined to find a lights-out closer.
"I almost bet my house that he will do something big," a source close to Rizzo told Fox Sports MLB insider Ken Rosenthal.
Kimbrel has hit his stride after a rough patch early in the season and is now among the hottest closers in the game.
