Quiet trade deadline for White Sox

Share

MINNEAPOLIS -- White Sox general manager Kenny Williams said there was plenty of interesting talk before Tuesdays 3 p.m. non-waiver trade deadline, but nothing more.
With Kevin Youkilis, Brett Myers and Francisco Liriano, who makes his Sox debut at 7:10 p.m. tonight, already on board, Williams said the White Sox are satisfied with how they addressed the holes on their roster.
Williams said he and members of the White Sox front office exhausted every potential lead, but didnt come close to a deal before todays deadline.
There were some interesting discussions, but nothing I would describe was even close enough to start exchanging medicals, Williams said. Just as we ask the players to grind it out and give it everything, we have responsibility in management to do the same. If theyre fighting, we want to show them how much were in this fight with them. Whether or not we have positioned ourselves to close this thing out or not, I know we have given all we have, exhausted ourselves in the quest to make us as good as we can be. Weve got to be satisfied with that. Hopefully thats enough and hopefully the players see that.
