Tampa Bay Rays – The Rays have traded Alex Colome to Seattle. Normally, we’d have guessed that Sergio Romo would be the man to step in to close, but that has been complicated by their decision to start him both tonight and Sunday. For tonight, we suspect Jose Alvarado would get the ball in the 9th inning. Going forward, they may re-assess and move Romo into a committee with Alvarado, or give him the ball outright. For the time being, both are worth adding if you’re speculating.
Updated hierarchy: Alvarado | Romo | Roe.
Seattle Mariners – Alex Colome loses his closer value and will join the set-up ranks of the Mariners. Look for him to get the ball in the 8th inning.
Updated hierarchy: Diaz | Colome | Nicasio.
