Reeling in the Years
The latest wrinkle in the Jose Reyes Sweepstakes is the first concrete offer. Or the closest thing to one so far, anyway. Reports on Tuesday indicated that the Marlins offered Reyes a six-year, $90 million deal. The Marlins, for once, are keeping quiet and will neither confirm nor deny said...
Who's in Kenny Williams' 'Safe' Column?
Saturday morning I found myself, as I often do, out on my bike, playing GM in my head, running the White Sox roster through my head and neatly placing each player on the Sox roster into neatly defined categories. It was almost exactly 6 weeks before the trade deadline, the Sox had just come off...
White Sox Not Looking For Just Any Starter
So I'm reading Jon Heyman's latest piece on likely trade targets for contending teams, when I realize that the media is missing Kenny Williams' main objective yet again. Here's what he had to say. White Sox: Their attempted trade for Jake Peavy made it clear that they're looking for an ace to...
Colon Passes Inspection, Dr. Ozzie Calls For More Tests
Bartolo Colon answered Ozzie Guillen's challenge with 4+ impressive innings against the A's Wednesday. Colon was reportedly topping out at about 92 MPH on the gun, and felt stronger as his outing wore on. "He threw the ball better," Guillen said. "The thing that was the best was his command — he...
Michael Young Requests Trade, We Request 5th Starter

Leaving Las Vegas with More Questions
Baseball's Winter Meetings ended uneventfully for the White Sox. Oh sure, there was that extra $50K they got for losing Derek Rodriguez in the Rule 5 Draft, but only Jerry Reinsdorf and Larry care about that. The rest of us wonder what the White Sox will look like when they open camp in February....
Hot Stove Heats Up, White Sox Not Cookin
The first two days of the Winter Meetings were pretty boring, even as the predictable big money deals rolled in (K-Rod to the Mets, CC to the Yankees). But things started to pick up late Wednesday. Most notably, (from the White Sox perspective) the Tigers and Indians made a couple of trades; the...
Ruminations on Rumors (w/ Bonus Vazquez Rumor)
Scanning Google Reader -- Suck it, Bloglines! -- over the past 24 hours, I came across a couple of related entries from two completely different type of sites. I thought about posting them separately as FanShots, but I thought they combined to frame a more robust discussion about the baseball rumor...
Dye-ing For Fresh News
Last week we pointed to a report stating the Sox were shopping Jermaine Dye to the Reds, looking for a young pitcher (and more) in return, and were looking to trim some payroll. Baseball essentially shut down over the Thanksgiving holiday, and there won't be any real news until teams make their...
