cool fam hope for a top 100 guy.

That’s realistic.

Colome might be the best reliever on the market. And he has a track record of being a good closer. ?‍♂️

one only has to look at the kahnle deal to see why a top 50 prospect is a pipe dream.  relievers, even good closers, just don't get much.

Team defense is night and day better than a month ago.  Leury is really settling in as the everyday CF.

Stay healthy.

Throw 2 more and he's out. 

had em the whole way folks

Rutherford was a high 30's low 40's ranked prospect at the TIME of the trade.  So no, you aren't correct.

Kahnle didn't have the track record. He had 3 good months as a big leaguer. And they got a top 100 guy for him.

Cubs gave up Gleyber Torres for 3 months of Chapman. Colome isn't Chapman, but he is somewhere in between.

We're going to see a ton of closers traded next few months (Giles, Greene, Colome, W. Smith, Kimbrel signing, )

Thank you Colome. 

Ballgame!

Best catch of Tilson's career

A winning streak!!

This is called winning in spite of your manager. Great job boys

Leury sure looked good in this game.  He's growing on me.

They had to give up 2 good relievers and a 3B for basically that one legit prospect.  How does that compare to trading Colome only for a top 50 prospect?!?  Also, there will be a bunch of good relievers that hit the trade market soon.  Supply and demand my friend.

Not to mention Robertson would've netted Lazardo if the Nats owner okay'd the deal.

Mariano Rivera, I mean Alex Colome, is straight nasty. Best Sox closer since Bobby Jenks.

I was going to use the Chapman comparison as well.  Also, trades won't necessarily be prospects.  Many teams have major league guys who are blocked.  I believe that had some bearing on the Torres trade.

If they do it means RH is all in for next year.

Yankees pried Gleyber Torres away from our friends on the north side for the privilege of just three months of Aroldis Chapman.  Granted, Chapman still was a tier above Colome, but the way Colome is going about his business so far this year, who knows?

Colome looks awesome.  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.
