Today, the Winter Meetings opened up with their first full day of teams being at Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort in Orlando, Florida and, as of now, the Colorado Rockies, according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, are “aggressively pursuing” a trade with the Tampa Bay Rays to acquire their closer Alex Colome.
Colome is not a household name but this is not due to a lack of pitching well. It’s because he plays for the Tampa Bay Rays, or in a small market.
Colome as the Rays closer
Colome has been the Tampa Bay Rays closer since 2016 and he has done very well for the team.
