If the Rays got in on the reliever market what could they reasonably expect.
Ever since Alex Colome moved to the bullpen after failing as a starter he has been a very good reliever. With the news that two months of Aroldis Chapman brought the Yankees a consensus 25-30 overall prospect in Gleyber Torres and some other respectable prospects, should the Rays be willing to move Colome? Is the price of all relievers sky high?
The life of a reliever is a fickle one and trying to peg the value of Colome isn’t very straight forward. For a position player or starting pitcher it might be easy to project out how much surplus value a player has and try to convert that to prospect values to get an idea of a reasonable expectation.
