The Chicago Sun Times is reporting the White Sox might be interested in trading outfielder Jermaine Dye to the Yankees for Bobby Abreu. Dye has struggled thus far this season, hitting just .228 with 10 home runs and 29 RBI. He’s also a free agent to be, making any trade rumors involving him viable.
Apparently Sox manager Ozzie Guillen is a good friend of Abreu’s, making this specific rumor worth following. Plus – according to the Sun Times’ article – the Sox feel that Abreu will heat up in the second half of the season considering his track record for being a notorious slow starter (he’s hitting just .244 with 7 home runs and 4 RBI this season). At 25-27, Chicago isn’t panicking by any means, but with both Dye and starting pitcher Mark Buehrle set to become free agents, this team is built to win now and may explore trades in order to make another World Series run.
