Chicago White Sox: Should Alex Colome be Traded?

Alex Colome is in the midst of an outstanding season for the Chicago White Sox. After being acquired by the White Sox in exchange for catcher Omar Narvaez this offseason, Colome has cemented himself as arguably the best closer to come out of the pen for the Sox in the last five years or so. Through 37.2 innings in 2019, Colome has recorded 20 saves while keeping his earned run average at a minuscule 2.39. He has also recorded just 11 walks versus 29 strikeouts on the year.

Given that Colome would be a huge asset for a potential White Sox playoff team, the debate of whether or not to ship him off at the deadline is a legitimate one.
