The White Sox are in serious talks for a deal that would send starter Edwin
Jackson and third baseman Mark Teahen to the Blue Jays for reliever Jason
Frasor and a prospect, tweets Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports. Rosenthal's
colleague Jon Paul Morosi says this deal is close and money could be involved.
The rumor was first reported ten hours ago on Twitter by a fellow named Doug
Seyller.
The Jays' motivation for renting Jackson for two months and taking on a bad
contract in Teahen is unclear. There doesn't appear to be a draft pick angle,
as both Jackson and Frasor project as Type Bs. Perhaps Blue Jays GM Alex
Anthopoulos is considering flipping Jackson to a contender.
The White Sox were known to be seeking bullpen help, and Frasor has a club
option for next year. The Sox could also subtract a reliever, as Joel Sherman
of the New York Post reports that they're talking to the Cardinals about Matt
Thornton. Maybe Kenny Williams' goal in the Jackson trade is to shed the
$9.7MM left on the contracts of the two veterans, though we need to see the
quality of the prospect involved. Sox pitchers John Danks and Gavin Floyd are
also on the market, according to Rosenthal. The White Sox are currently 4.5
games out in the AL Central with another game against the Tigers tonight.
Edwin Jackson + Mark Teahen <-> Jason Frasor + Prospect
這筆交易可能也會包含現金....
對白襪而言這筆交易可以清掉9.7M的合約，同時也可以進補牛棚，不過要等
到知道藍鳥出哪一支新秀以後才知道白襪總管阿Ken做這筆交易的目的...
