Once the World Series was over, the White Sox needed to decide what they wanted to do with Juan Uribe along with a few others (Darin Erstad and Mike Myers). An option could be A-Rod? Yes, Alex Rodriguez is a third baseman, but according to the LA Times, A-Rod’s agent Scott Boras is trying to market him as not only a third baseman but also as a shortstop. Well we know that we aren’t going to get rid of Crede or Fields, so what about Uribe? Uribe has made his fair share of mess-ups this season, but he has 20+ homeruns and didn’t completely suck. So this could be a possibility. The fact that he was a Gold Glove shortstop in 2002 is a definite plus. They question is however, are we willing to pay for Alex Rodriquez? I mean the guy is going for about $30 million a year. Anyone would want A-Rod, but teams like the White Sox and the Cubs are especially attracted to him because of his shortstop capabilities.
It is sort of unlikely that the White Sox will sign A-Rod, mainly because of the financial situation. But according to the LA Times, some baseball sources stated that the Angels are currently the front-runners. So there are many possibilities to where A-Rod might play next. We just know that he wants to get away from the Yankees. We’ll just have to wait and see to find out how everything will play out.
