White Sox Rumors
USA Today is reporting The Chicago White Sox will go into 2010 with the deepest starting rotation in the American League Central. The question is whether they can support the pitching with improved defense and better run production. The White Sox are close to signing free-agent shortstop Omar Vizquel to a one-year contract, according to a major-league source. Espn is reporting The Chicago White Sox look to be throwing in the towel.The team distributed a memo to a number of teams in the league on Monday informing them that some Chicago veterans are available in trade, sources told ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney. Names on that list include designated hitter Jim Thome, outfielder Jermaine Dye and reliever Scott Linebrink. SI is reporting With a pair of high-priced acquisitions, first trading for injured Padres ace and former Cy Young winner Jake Peavy and then adding ex-All-Star Alex Rios from the Blue Jays on Monday, White Sox general manager Ken Williams has served notice that his team is not willing to settle for perfection.![]() By Mark Gonzales | Tribune reporter With the non-waiver trade deadline one month away, teams are expected to increase their evaluations and discussions. The Chicago Tribune is reporting that Octavio Dotel could be moved from the White Sox. Manager Kenny Williams has a reputation for moving players and tweeking is teams just before the Trade Deadline. Reliever Octavio Dotel could be the man out this year. The Chicago tribune is reporting that with so many players learning and practicing 3rd base, present day White Sox 3rd baseman is feeling the pressure. Sox GM Kenny Williams told fields that we was willing to make changes if things did not improve. Fields stated ""You can't worry about it," "The main thing I can do is go out and keep working like I have been." The Chicago Sun-Times is reporting that time may have run out for Jose Contreras to impress Ozzie Guillen as he continues to have poor starts. The Daily Herald is reporting that White Sox GM Kenny Williams is looking to add some Veteran Pitching to his team. He is looking at Pedro Martinez. Paul Byrd. Odalis Perez or Freddy Garcia. Forgive general manager Kenny Williams if he secretly prays for analysts to overlook his White Sox. This team performs the best when the least is expected of it, with the 2008 AL Central title the latest bit of evidence. The bar has been raised for the upcoming season, but it is unlikely that anyone will see the Sox among the American League's elite after an offseason in which Williams allowed free agents Joe Crede and Orlando Cabrera to walk while trading innings-eater Javier Vazquez.
