White Sox Eyeing Soriano, Done Spending?

By Luke Adams | January 1, 2011 at 8:04pm CDT

While "there seems to be interest" in bringing Rafael Soriano to Chicago, the White Sox may not have enough cash left to seriously pursue the right-hander, reports SI.com's Jon Heyman (via Twitter).

The White Sox have made well over $100MM in contract commitments so far this offseason, re-signing Paul Konerko and A.J. Pierzynski, as well as bringing in Adam Dunn and Jesse Crain. As a result, they have "little if any" spending money at the moment, according to Heyman.

Soriano appears poised to land a multiyear deal that exceeds, if not Mariano Rivera's $30MM agreement with the Yankees, at least Joaquin Benoit's $16.5MM pact with the Tigers. As Heyman points out (on Twitter), signing Soriano would be a great way for Chicago to replace the non-tendered Bobby Jenks, but the Sox will have to find some money before they can be considered a legit suitor for the market's top closer.

MLBTR's Dan Mennella examined Soriano's market on Thursday, while earlier in December, we asked MLBTR's readers where you thought Soriano would sign. Nearly 13% of over 13,000 respondents picked the White Sox.

    I saw Carter pitch last year for the Tincaps and it was in relief and he could not throw a strike. He actually threw one way over the hitters head to the net (backstop).

      Oh, I understand the numbers. I also watch the game. How about you explain to me which advanced metrics will prove that Peavy hasn’t been junk since coming to the White Sox, which is what I asserted, because I’m just not seeing it.

      By the way, more is not spelled “moar.” Try learning the English language, even remedial.
