Rumor: Atlanta Braves interested in Alex Colome

While the Atlanta Braves bullpen has transformed from one of the worst in the league to one of the best, there’s little to suggest that the team doesn’t need help closing out games.

Incumbent closer Luke Jackson has blown seven saves, and as a team, the Atlanta Braves have blown 17 saves.

Bruce Levine of 670AM The Score in Chicago, first tweeted the rumor, saying:

“Braves among numerous teams looking at White Sox bullpen pieces . Alex Colome is on the radar of most clubs. LHP Aaron Bummer has many suitors but Sox look at him as their potential closer.
