Should Chicago White Sox extend Alex Colome?

Alex Colome was impressive in his first season with the Chicago White Sox. With other needs to address this offseason, should the team look to extend their closer?

In 2019, Colome registered a 2.80 ERA, 4.08 FIP, and 1.066 WHIP while recording 30 saves on the year. He also averaged 8.1 K/9 as compared to 3.4 BB/9.

The 30-year-old has been very consistent throughout his career with a 3.07 ERA career ERA spanned over stints with three teams, with the other two being the Tampa Bay Rays and Seattle Mariners.

With Colome set to enter his final season of arbitration in 2020, the team will have a decision to make within the next year with regards to keeping him around long-term or not.
