.The 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.

The Tampa Bay Rays have traded closer Alex Colome and outfielder Denard Span to the Mariners in exchange for Andrew Moore and Tommy Romero. This leaves Jose Alvarado as the biggest beneficiary in the Rays bullpen. We expect him to see the most save chances the rest of the season, although Chaz Roe could mix in as well. Colome now figures to find himself in a setup role behind Edwin Diaz, which makes him droppable in non-holds leagues. This year, Span has had one of the best starts to a season in his career, and with Dee Gordon and Robinson Cano out of Seattle's lineup he should see significant playing time. Moore started nine games for the Mariners last season and could find himself in the Rays rotation while Jacob Faria is sidelined. The Rays had been tabbed as sellers at the start of the season due to the current construct of their roster. After dealing Evan Longoria to the Giants in the offseason and going into this year with only four starting pitchers, it was clear that they were headed towards a rebuild. It should not come as a shock if someone like Chris Archer gets dealt next.

Tampa Bay Rays closer Alex Colome bounced back from a tough loss yesterday by closing out the game Thursday versus the Red Sox. He came in with two outs in the ninth and got the final out to earn his 11th save of the season. He had taken the loss Wednesday against the same opponent. It has been a rough season early on, but Colome had a long leash, as he had tallied 84 saves the past two seasons. Stick with Colome in all leagues, but just know that the frequency of his save chances likely will not be consistent as the Rays seem streaky and not particularly strong.
