It may have taken a few extra months, but we can finally declare that Hot Stove season is over.<\/p>\n
The last two major free agents are off the board after Craig Kimbrel agreed to\u00a0a three-year, $43 million deal<\/a>\u00a0with the Chicago Cubs and Dallas Keuchel joined the Atlanta Braves on\u00a0a one-year, $13 million deal<\/a>.<\/p>\n Deals for both free agents not surprisingly gained steam this week after the MLB draft commenced. Since both players refused qualifying offers during the winter, that meant both had draft pick compensation attached if they signed prior to the draft.<\/p>\n With both signings coming after the deadline, the Cubs and Braves only had to worry about writing a large check. And most would agree that both teams got a bargain relative to the asking price and past market values for an ace reliever and former Cy Young winner.<\/p>\n While the Cubs and Braves are obviously feeling good about that, some of the teams they are contending with and were negotiating against can\u2019t be thrilled with these outcomes.<\/p>\n Here, we\u2019ll take a look at each team impacted by these signings and determine whether they are winners or losers based on the outcome.<\/p>\n![\"Which](\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/nSdSmv5KrGRNdszncLryIw--~A\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjtzbT0xO3c9ODAw\/https:\/\/img.huffingtonpost.com\/asset\/5cf9e4562100003711e6be97.jpeg\")
