White Sox Shopping Relievers?

The White Sox are looking to acquire a front of the rotation starter, but need to clear payroll in order to make a move. While teams are not looking to add too much payroll, adding a top reliever for a fringe prospect might be worth a team's while. Scott Linebrink has been shopped around by the Sox, but his contract, which will give him 10.5 million dollars through 2011, makes him harder to move

One reliever the White Sox could move is Octavio Dotel, who is making 6 million dollars in the final year of his contract. The Indians' bullpen has been inconsistent this season and would benefit from a veteran reliever with experience of the division.

I don't think

the Indians will be uying, but if they were, that would be great. Dotel is good but if we got a veteran starter for him, I would deal him. The earliest time for a deal for a starter for the white sox will be on the deadline if they decide Richard isnt going to be starting and Garcia won’t fill the whole
