White Sox looking to deal Konerko?

With the signing of first baseman-outfielder Mark Kotsay, Mark Teahen's arrival -- not yet official, although widely reported -- would position the White Sox to deal Paul Konerko this winter, assuming Konerko is willing to waive his no-trade rights. Konerko has one year left on his contract and isn't believed to have received overtures about staying past 2010. He could be attractive to teams looking for leadership and run-production, with San Francisco, Arizona, Boston and the Angels among the possibilities. Shedding his $12-million salary would make it easier to pursue a top free agent, such as the long rumored Chone Figgins.

White Sox Buy Out Option On Jermaine Dye
By Tim Dierkes [November 6, 2009 at 10:38am CST]
The White Sox bought out Jermaine Dye's mutual option for 2010, according to the team. Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times says it cost the Sox $950K. This decision was a given, since the option was for $12MM. While Dye is a projected Type A free agent, it won't matter because the Sox are highly unlikely to offer arbitration.

Dye, 36 in January, hit .250/.340/.453 in 574 plate appearances this year. He slumped to .184/.303/.278 over the season's final two months. In an article yesterday, MLB.com's T.R. Sullivan said that Dye "is of interest to the Rangers."

You need to stop reading Phil Rogers........Its bad for you....

Joe Cowley, the White Sox Insider for the Sun-Times & 670 The SCORE, says that the much-talked about Chris Getz/Joshua Fields/Mark Teahen trade with Kansas City isn't a done deal by any means. Joe says that $$$$ and other minor-league prospects are holding up the trade at this stage, especially when you consider Teahen is slated to earn a lot more than Getz & Fields combined in 2010. This is far from a done deal, and in my opinion, I hope this deal falls apart. Teahen is far from a sure thing defensively and strikes out as much as Fields has in his brief career.

Meanwhile, as far as the White Sox wanting to deal Paul Konerko, it's not exactly a news flash. The Sox have been trying to do that for years.

Please tell me the prospects are coming this way and not to Kansas City.

Mel Jr., if I knew who were the Royals' or White Sox prospects included, I would tell you.

No prospects, just cash.
