According to Bob Nightengale of the USA Today, the St Louis Cardinals and Colorado Rockies are aggressively pursuing the Rays All Star closer, Alex Colome.

The Cardinals have made it known they’ve wanted to acquire Colome since the off-season began in November.

In 2018, Colome will be entering his sixth season in the majors after making his MLB debut during the 2013 season. Originally a member of the starting rotation, he would be moved to the bullpen halfway through the 2015 season and after some stumbles, he has been among the best relievers in all of baseball the past two years.
