More on Dye...

In Chicago Jermaine Dye rumors just won't go away and even though many of the teams interested in him are on his no-trade list there still seems to be speculation that he'll be moved before spring training. The Chicago Tribune takes a look at Kenny Williams history as the White Sox GM and how he has successfully moved veterans to re-build his team. The column goes on to identify why Dye could be available and who could be after him.....

Quentin should be a fielding upgrade in right field over the 34-year-old Dye, whose 2008 range factor of 1.86 ranked 27th among 30 primary right fielders. So this is the right time to trade Dye.He has averaged 34 home runs and 95 RBIs in his four years with the Sox. That gives him value to many teams: the Dodgers (assuming they don't re-sign Manny Ramirez), Mets, Braves, Angels (if they lose Mark Teixeira), Rays and Reds, to name six teams that are not believed to be on his no-trade list. source Chicago Tribune
