Nov 6
The White Sox have declined the mutual option on veteran right fielder and former Dye, clearing the way for him to become a free agent. Dye will get a buyout of $950,000 instead of $12 million he could have gotten in salary next season. Advice: Dye, the World Series MVP in 2005 for the White Sox, signed a two-year, $22 million extension late in the 2007 season. This year, the 35-year-old Dye batted .250 with 27 home runs and 81 RBI in 141 games. Dye has also played with the Braves, Royals and Athletics. In 14 major league seasons, he has batted .274 with 325 homers and 1,072 RBIs. In five seasons with the White Sox, he batted .278 with 164 homers and 461 RBI. |

The White Sox bought out Dye's 2010 option for $950,000, making him a free agent, the Chicago Sun-Times reports. Recommendation: This seemed inevitable and the rumors of a trade for Mark Teahen added fuel to the idea the White Sox are shopping for a replacement. Dye hit just .179/.293/.297 in the second half last season. Still, he hit 27 home runs and will find several suitors despite a down season. |

OF Jermaine Dye said there has still been no contact between he and the organization, pointing toward Dye's departure from the South Side after five years and a World Series win in 2005. The two had a $12 million mutual option for 2010, but Dye was willing to rip up the contract and rework a new deal that would keep him there for two to three years. |
