Between this winter?s trades of closer Sergio Santos and outfielder Carlos Quentin, the White Sox have cut about $10 million in payroll. Could they be gearing up for something (or someone) special?
Perhaps. Maybe. Potentially.
Bruce Levine of ESPN Chicago expects the White Sox to take part in the bidding for Cuban outfielder Yoenis Cespedes, who is scheduled to become a major league free agent sometime in early January.
White Sox GM Kenny Williams did not shoot down that idea when speaking with reporters Saturday:
?What I will say is there are some doors that are now open for us that were not open yesterday because of the savings of dollars,? Williams said. ?But which direction we are heading with that, [talking about it] I think would be counterproductive with us getting something done should we decide to go down that road.?
The White Sox are likely to have?competition?from the Cubs, Marlins, Yankees and Red Sox, but they have a good history with recruiting Cuban talent and would seem to have some available spending cash.
Cespedes, 26, batted?.333/.424/.667 with 33 home runs and 99 RBI in 90 games this past year in Cuba.
