November 30, 20196 yr Author Sleeper and the bust podcast suggested that the White Sox should go after Blake Treinen from OAK. What do you guys think? Probably could be had with a low level prospect.

He imploded on himself last year but velo didn't dip. He just couldn't throw strikes. He allegedly had a neck thing going on all year.

Could Colome then be used as a trade chip for a guy to play RF?

Yes, his 2018 was really good and a hard throwing closer would be nice. But, like you said does he regain that 2018 form.
November 30, 20196 yr 14 minutes ago, Saufley said: Huh? He wasn't worth much at last year's trade deadline. Whatever we could move Colome for probably isn't a starting RF. At least not as part of a package.

We need bullpen help even with Colome on our roster, so sending Colome away to fill the RF spot and bringing in Treinen wouldn't leave us obviously better than just signing one of the cheap RF options. If you're trading for Treinen, seems reasonable to me - but keep him and Colome, we need the bullpen help. Worst case scenario - trade away Colome, both Herrera and Treinen have rotten 2020 years, and our bullpen is the worst part of our org and costs us a lot of close wins.

Build a bullpen with depth. IF the 2018 Treinen were to show up he'd be a nice add. Anyone think Herrera will be of use this year? Edited November 30, 20196 yr by Saufley
November 30, 20196 yr We need at least 1 if not 2 arms for the pen. Even with Treinen I wouldn't be trading Colome.

December 1, 20196 yr They need to do better than Treinan unless it's just a flier or unless they can identify a specific reason along with solution, for his loss of control last year. The next good trade the Sox make with Oakland will be the first...since Chet Lemon anyway.

He has 4 years of control left so he fits the window perfectly. But he would also cost a fortune I’d think.
