The champagne is barely dry in the
Yankees clubhouse, but the business of 2010 is already well under way. Three trades are in the books, a number of players have already filed for free agency and
Bobby Abreu has a new deal with the
Angels.
In that vein, three clubs made decisions on contract options Friday as they held on to star players for next year. The
Phillies and
Diamondbacks both picked up the options they held on ace pitchers
Cliff Lee and
Brandon Webb, respectively, while the
White Sox bought out right fielder
Jermaine Dye.
Chicago's World Series MVP in 2005, Dye, who will turn 36 in January, was due to make $12 million in 2010. He'll instead receive $950,000 from the White Sox and hit the open market.

Filed Under: White Sox, AL Central

The
Chicago White Sox have no chance of getting to the playoffs this season as the AL Central is only a two-horse race between the
Detroit Tigers and
Minnesota Twins. They do have a chance to play a deciding role in who will win the division, though, since they have a few games remaining against the
Tigers.
One of those games came Saturday night as Ozzie's team blew a 5-0 lead and gave up 12 straight runs to the Tigers, who were able to pick up the come-from-behind win and maintain their two-game lead on the
Twins. While the loss itself didn't bother manager
Ozzie Guillen all that much, the fact that his players were watching
college football in the clubhouse immediately after the game
sent the Sox manager on a tirade.

Starting Five is our wrapup of the previous day's baseball action, with a quick nod to what is ahead.
You Oughta Know ...
That
Brad Lidge problem is back again.
Lidge on Wednesday blew a save for the 11th time -- most in the NL in 11 years -- as the Phillies lost 7-6 to the Marlins.
He entered for the bottom of the ninth, after
Ross Gload's leadoff double, got two outs. But
Hanley Ramirez walked,
Jorge Cantu singled and
Brett Carroll singled to
hand Lidge the loss.

Filed Under: White Sox, AL Central, MLB Rumors

As a whole, the
baseball season in Chicago has been a disappointment. The
Cubs were expected to contend for a World Series title only to be thrown off track by injuries and
Milton Bradley, while on the other side of town the
White Sox have failed to exceed expectations. As is usually the case when this happens to large-market teams, wholesale changes are made.
The White Sox parted ways with
Jim Thome and 2005 World Series hero
Jose Contreras, and it's likely other players such as
Jermaine Dye,
Bobby Jenks and
Paul Konerko could be following them out of town this winter. Still, that doesn't mean everybody in the White Sox organization is leaving.

Starting Five is our wrapup of the previous day's baseball action with a quick nod to what is ahead.
You Oughta Know ... That the
White Sox may be out of the playoff race, but
Jake Peavy still gave them something to get excited about. Peavy made his much-anticipated White Sox debut, pitching five effective innings to beat the
Royals.
Peavy gave up three runs and his command was shaky, but he consistently threw his fastball in the low 90s. He threw 73 pitches, only 20 in his last two innings.

Filed Under: White Sox, AL Central, MLB Injuries

When
White Sox general manager Kenny Williams pulled off a late shocker minutes before the
MLB trade deadline back on July 31 to land injured starter
Jake Peavy, he had two motives in mind. One was that adding Peavy, who is signed through 2012 with a club option for 2013, to his team's rotation leaves the
White Sox set to contend in the AL Central for years to come. The other was that should Peavy be able to return from his ankle injury quick enough, he might be able to help the White Sox reach the playoffs this season.
Well, seeing as how it's the middle of September and the White Sox are 5 1/2 games behind the
Detroit Tigers in the AL Central, it's probably too late for Peavy to make a playoff push. Still, the team isn't giving up and White Sox fans can get a sneak peak at the team's future this Saturday in Chicago
when Peavy makes his White Sox debut.

Starting Five is our wrapup of the previous day's baseball action, with a quick nod to what is ahead.You Oughta Know ...The
White Sox,
Rays and
Marlins aren't irrelevant yet.
All three teams faced near must-win games Wednesday, and all came through -- late.
Chicago, which would have fallen eight games out in the AL Central and 4 1/2 behind second-place Minnesota, rallied against
Twins closer
Joe Nathan with four runs in the ninth for a
4-2 victory.
"Hopefully we start playing better and have a little more fun, at least have a little more fun," [Sox manager Ozzie] Guillen said. "You think we're out [of post-season contention]. People think we're out, just go out there and enjoy it. Hopefully things turn around."

Filed Under: Dodgers, Indians, White Sox, NL West, The Dugout

As you may have read yesterday,
Jim Thome was awarded to the Los Angeles Dodgers like so much sassy Sapphire, reuniting him with former Indians teammate
Manny Ramirez. In the Dugout universe (which is the real universe, because we are somehow still convincing people that these are legitimate transcripts) this is big news, and
in yesterday's episode the two realistically-portrayed superstars took off across the country on a bicycle built for two to rebuild the 1997 Cleveland Indians in 2009 Los Angeles and reclaim the World Series ring that was rightfully theirs.
