The 2017 MLB winter meetings are underway and the rumors are already beginning to flow. Bob Nightengale is reporting that the Rockies and Cardinals are both in active pursuit of a Alex Colomé. The Tampa Bay Rays closer is one of the top closers available on the trade market this offseason. The Rockies’ pursuit of him could signal that the top free agent closers have priced themselves out of Colorado’s range (pun intended).
Colomé saved 47 games for the Rays last season while posting a 3.24 ERA in 662⁄3 innings.
