GLENDALE, Ariz. — Alex Colome was making some noise Saturday. Literally. His pitches were not just fast. They were loud.
Lined up next to Kelvin Herrera during a weekend bullpen session, Colome gave onlookers a preview of the most significant (to this point) additions of the White Sox offseason. Colome was the major league saves leader in 2017. Herrera was a key piece of a fearsome Kansas City Royals bullpen during that team’s back-to-back World Series runs in 2014 and 2015.
Talk about improving the South Side relief corps, which posted a 4.49 ERA last season, ranking 23rd out of 30 big league bullpens.
