Player Notes

October 22, 2009
ESPN's Jorge Arangure reports that slugger Jim Thome has no plans to retire.

Our View:Thome just wrapped up his 19th season, hitting 23 home runs in 124 games. He is a free agent, and will almost certainly need to sign with an American League team where he can DH. While the market for DHs is expected to be incredibly tight, Thome and his 564 career homers should be able to land a job somewhere.

October 10, 2009
Jim Thome is hopeful of returning to the White Sox next season, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.

Our View:Thome noted that he is very fond of Chicago, and admitted that he had a hard time approving his trade to the Dodgers. The 39-year-old vet added that the Sox treated him great.

September 1, 2009
According to ESPNChicago.com, Jim Thome will only play first base for the Dodgers in an emergency situation. The team plans to use Thome specifically as a pinch-hitter for the rest of the season.

Our View:Manager Joe Torre hinted that the team may try to play Thome at first some, but GM Ned Colleti reiterated that Thome will only come off the bench. This move still seems a bit odd, but the Dodgers felt like they needed to add to their bench for the playoffs.

August 31, 2009
Updating an earlier report, Jim Thome has reportedly been traded to the Dodgers, according to Mark Gonzales' (Chicago Tribune) twitter page.

Our View:He was waived Monday, and did not address reporters after tonight's battle in Minnesota. Thome does have a no-trade clause in his contract.

August 31, 2009
The White Sox have reportedly sent out a memo to some MLB teams stating that Jim Thome is available, according to ESPN.

Our View:The slugger is hitting .252 with 23 homers and 74 RBI in his fourth campaign with Chicago, and apparently the club is losing faith in catching the Tigers in the AL Central. They are currently 5.5 games back, and were swept by the Yankees over the weekend.
