White Sox Acquire Alex Colome From Mariners
6 years agoThe Chicago White Sox acquired relief pitcher Alex Colome from the Seattle Mariners on Friday in exchange for catcher Omar Narvaez. Colome started 2018 with the Rays and recorded 11 saves before being traded to Seattle. He finished with a 3.04 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, 12 saves and 72 K's in 68 innings. He'll presumably become Chicago's ninth-inning man heading into 2019 for a team that should be better than they were in 2018. Colome will be a low-end fantasy closing option. Narvaez hit .275/.366/.429 with nine home runs and 30 RBI in 280 at-bats for the Pale Hose. He'll have a good shot for regular playing time with his new team, as David Freitas is the only other backstop on the roster after the M's traded away Mike Zunino.
