It is somewhat of a surprise that Alex Colome is back with the Rays.
Last year, the Rays played a ton of tight games, and while the wins weren’t always pretty, El Caballo led all of baseball in saves, converting 47 of 53 chances. But with the club in full rebuild mode this year, there figures to be fewer of those and less need for a stud at the back end.
Additionally, his value should be fairly high at the moment, given that he’s still a season away from his first arbitration year and the general market for shutdown relievers is at an all time high.
