CHICAGO — The Chicago White Sox have acquired right-handed relief pitcher Alex Colomé from the Seattle Mariners in exchange for catcher Omar Narváez.
Colomé, 29, combined to go 7–5 with a 3.04 ERA (23 ER/68.0 IP), 30 holds, 12 saves and 72 strikeouts over 70 appearances last season between Tampa Bay and Seattle. He was 5–0 with a 2.53 ERA (13 ER/46.1 IP), all 30 holds and 49 strikeouts over 47 appearances with the Mariners after being acquired from the Rays on May 25 as part of a four-player deal.
“We view Alex as a terrific addition to our bullpen given his experience in a number of relief roles, including closing very successfully for Tampa Bay in 2016–18 before moving into a setup role with the Mariners,” said Rick Hahn, White Sox senior vice president/general manager.
