Guessing the Cubs thought they could sign him for less than he'd get in arbitration and Torreyes had none of it so they let him go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colome had been lined up to close for Seattle assuming their trade of Edwin Diaz went through. He's still a candidate for saves in Chicago, although the White Sox have financial incentive to use Nate Jones in that role since his salary is already locked in for the next few years. Colome is projected by MLB Trade Rumors to make $7.3 million in his second year of arbitration eligibility. http://rotoworld.com/headlines/mlb/594546/white-sox-acquire-colome-from-ms-for-narvaez?ls=roto:CWS:topheadlines Narvaez has been a 270/365 guy the last two years. He will DEFINATELY be a 220/290 guy next year. Bank on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Want to give you a million more. My first thought when I heard the trade was why would you trade Mejia if you were willing to part with Gomes.

You're the Indians, you know you have to cut payroll, so you trade an MLB ready prospect at a spot you desperately need? C'mon man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hand is only $1-2 million less than Gomes and at best they provide the same value. So you basically traded Mejia for $2 million a year in cap relief.

There's no reason he should be trying to lift the ball as much as he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nationals will go into next season with Yan Gomes and Kurt Suzuki for about a million more than they paid Matr Wieters last season Great platoon, and it certainly beats out trading Robles for two years of Realmuto at this point.

They were never giving up Robles for Realmuto. Carter Keiboom, maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
