• Alex Colome: Cut loose by Pale Hose

  08/06/2023 • By RotoWire

  The White Sox released Colome on Thursday. Colome picked up 41 saves during his first stint with the White Sox between the 2019 and 2020 seasons, but his second go around in Chicago was much less successful. After inking a minor-league deal with the White Sox in April, Colome earned a call-up to the big club in early May but was booted off the 40-man roster after giving up four runs (two earned) across three innings out of the bullpen. Colome remained in the organization after clearing waivers and had spent the last two and a half months at Triple-A Charlotte, with whom he posted a 3.24 ERA and 1.60 WHIP over 33 appearances on the season. The 34-year-old right-hander probably pitched well enough to land a minor-league deal somewhere else, but his advanced age and lack of swing-and-miss stuff likely means he won't pitch any high-leverage innings if he resurfaces in the majors at any point over the final two months of the season.

  The White Sox designated Colome for assignment Wednesday. Colome gave up two runs over three innings across four appearances after having his contract selected by the White Sox earlier this month. The right-hander will now hit waivers, and he could report back to Triple-A Charlotte if another team isn't willing to put in a claim for him.

  The White Sox selected Colome's contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday. Colome held a 2.25 ERA and 7:4 K:BB over eight innings with Charlotte to earn another shot in the majors. The 34-year-old reliever posted a 2.27 ERA over 83 appearances for the White Sox from 2019-20 but has struggled mightily at the big-league level since then.

• White Sox's Alex Colome: Receives minor-league deal

  04/07/2023 • By RotoWire

  Colome signed a minor-league contract with the White Sox on Friday. It's a return to where he had some of his best seasons, as Colome was the White Sox' primary closer from 2019-20. He's fallen on hard times since then and will need to show something in the minors first, but the hope is Colome will supplement the team's relief depth while Liam Hendriks (illness) is unavailable.
