The guy is everything the White Sox stand for: young, controllable, affordable, cheap right now and has been effective. He's the kind of guy they are trying to acquire. Young players. Now Colome will be traded. Not Bummer tho. Lol...you literally just called Bummer a “dime a dozen” guy the other day.
July 21, 20196 yr I'm happy with whatever happens in the Colome trade or keep scenario. Getting overpaid for Colome or having him on next years team are both acceptable outcomes.

He digested it, learned from it, and then did some research on Bummer's statistics. He had a change of heart based on the information and statistics at hand.
July 22, 20196 yr I was thinking of making a thread on it but what is our "best offer" to any contender? If it's Abrue+Colome+Bummer what does that return?
July 23, 20196 yr Giants are now only 2 games back of both wildcard spots. Looking more and more like they won't be trading either Will Smith or Sam Dyson. Will increase the value of Colome/Bummer. Depending on what the Pirates decide to do with Felipe Vazquez, Bummer could be the best lefty reliever on the trade market this year if Hahn decides to make him available. I'm not totally sold on trading him, but things may be falling into place where the Sox could receive huge value for him.

I'm perfectly happy to keep both Colome & Bummer...but neither isn't tradeable for an overpay.

You're right about that, and it's fascinating to think how important these next 5 Giants games are to the reliever trade market. If Smith, Dyson, and Watson are no longer available, the ask for guys like Giles, Yates, and Vazquez will be enormous, and the Dodgers might be happy to deal with the White Sox if it's "only" going to cost Dustin May.
