I am not saying to trade him but it only takes one team that thinks they are a closer away from a world series to net a good prospect. Boston sure could use him. And if they wanted Kimbrel back, they would have signed him by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, Chapman still was a tier above Colome, but the way Colome is going about his business so far this year, who knows? Chapman and his 103 mph fastball had a ton more perceived value as a lockdown closer than Colome ever will, regardless of the additional year of control. The Cubs might not even win the WS with Colome over Chapman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Colome is traded (which I hope is not the case) I just hope he brings more than another bust like Blake Rutherford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said in the past I would be happy with a guy like Ian Happ for Colome so if Hahn can do better than that I’ll be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUSTgottaBELIEVE Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Hold on to Colome, sign Kimbrel and you have one of the best 8th/9th inning combos in MLB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he pulls Lopez after 5 we shrug and say not terrible. I'll give him that. Except he was doing poorly and getting incredibly lucky before the 6th even started. Plus, he only had 88 pitches. I don't see where the protocol is to automatically pull a healthy pitcher at that point. Lopez should be able to navigate through an inning vs 5-6-7 in the lineup of a terrible baseball team.

Richie Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) I turned off the game. When I first saw the score flash on my phone as "Final: 8-7"... I shit a brick before I saw that we were the team who put up 8. Thank god we didn't lose. Edited May 30, 2019 by Richie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope Hahn doesn’t pull another Shields move and go all in, even if the Sox beat another mediocre team. The good team in the division ran a train on the Sox. Every time the Sox sniff .500, they fall back down. They just aren’t good enough yet. Edited May 30, 2019 by Moan4Yoan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good team in the division ran a train on the Sox. I’m not advocating for a trade. I’m advocating for a 1 year deal with Keuchel, which he is supposedly interested in, and a multi year deal for Kimbrel. No prospect or draft pick lost in either of those transactions starting next week. Pitching is this team’s greatest need. No better way to address it than signing a mid rotation starter and a hall of fame closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 1 year does nothing to help this team for when they should be competitive over the next couple of years. the only reason to sign him us to appease the fans which I guess does have some value. it would be good for public opinion.
