|
| The Indians are "keeping an eye on" free agent outfielder Jermaine Dye, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. |
Our View: They are seeking a veteran, right-handed bat, a description that would obviously be very apt for Dye. While he is no longer a plus defensive outfielder, he could see some time at first were he to land in Cleveland. Stay tuned.
|
|
|
|
| The Blue Jays, Royals, Indians and Tigers are all possible destinations for free agent outfielder Jermaine Dye, according to Fox Sports. |
Our View: Jon Paul Morosi believes the 36 year old will end up with an American League team. While his defense has deteriorated these past few seasons, he could still serve as a competent outfielder or first baseman. Stay tuned.
|
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye apparently turned down a one-year, $3.3 million offer from the Cubs this week, according to ESPN's Jerry Crasnick. |
Our View: That's the same deal that Xavier Nady eventually signed for. Given that he's 35 and a defensive liability, Dye is highly unlikely to get much more than that from anyone else.
|
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye could end up with the Padres for 2010, according to the Chicago Tribune. |
Our View: This would seem to be a bad move for Dye, who at age 35, probably shouldn't be moving from one of the most hitter-friendly stadiums in baseball to one of the least. If they are offering the most money, however, that's probably just what he will do.
|
|
|
|
| The Cubs are the latest team to have shown interest in Jermaine Dye, according to the Chicago Tribune. |
Our View: On one hand, it'd certainly be convenient for Dye to stick in the Windy City and not have to move, but on the other, the Cubs can't guarantee Dye an everyday starting gig. Still, with Alfonso Soriano's history of injuries, the Cubs could be willing to dole out a decent amount of money for Dye, so we'll have to wait and see how this one plays out.
|
|
|
|
| The Padres have shown interest in Jermaine Dye, according to Fox Sports. |
Our View: While his bat would be a nice addition to their lineup, they'd probably need to trade someone else - possibly either Kevin Kouzmanoff or Heath Bell - to afford Dye. Dye will likely continue to wait things out until he gets an offer that fits.
|
|
|
|
| The Rangers are reportedly still making a run at Jermaine Dye, according to Evan P. Grant's (Dallas Morning News) twitter page. |
Our View: Team officials met with the veteran outfielder in Los Angeles this week. Texas could let Dye go if they can reach a deal with Vladimir Guerrero though.
|
|
|
|
| Updating an earlier item, the Yankees do not appear to be interested in free agent outfielder Jermaine Dye, according to Jon Heyman of Sports Illustrated. |
Our View: Heyman says the Rangers, Cubs, Giants, Braves and Angels are all more likely destinations. Were Dye to sign as a first baseman somewhere, as has been rumored, his fantasy value would take a hit.
|
|
|
|
| There is belief the Rangers may prefer Jermaine Dye over Vladamir Guerrero, according to UZR/150. |
Our View: Dye can still roam in the outfield, while Guerrero will mostly be limited to a DH role. He would be leaving one good hitter's park (U.S. Cellular Field) for another (Rangers Ballpark) if signed by Texas.
|
|
|
|
| The Yankees remain interested in free agent outfielder Jermaine Dye, according to the Chicago Tribune. |
Our View: It is unknown where the team would play him, however. He would probably still see some time in right field, but most likely be used more often as the club's designated hitter. Stay tuned.
|
|
|
|
| Jon Heyman of Sports Illustrated believes the Yankees could be interested in Jermaine Dye if they decide to deal Melky Cabrera. |
Our View: Considering Dye hit 27 home runs in the hitter-friendly U.S. Cellular Field last season, he could likely do the same in very hitter-friendly Yankee Stadium. Still, it seems like Dye would be aiming a bit too low for the Bronx Bombers. Stay tuned.
|
|
|
|
| FOX Sports believes the Rangers could still target Jermaine Dye even if they complete their acquisition of Mike Lowell. |
Our View: Dye's defensive skills have declined, so he may be best served to work in a DH role. Dye recently stated that he would like to play in the west.
|
|
|
|
| Several clubs have garnered interest in Jermaine Dye so far in the off-season, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. |
Our View: The interested teams are said to be the Cardinals, Rangers, Red Sox and Giants. He may favor the Giants the most, as he reportedly would like to play in the west, and would be reunited with former Chicago teammate Aaron Rowand.
|
|
|
|
| The Yankees have reportedly internally discussed Jermaine Dye, according to Jerry Crasnick of ESPN. |
Our View: Dye would like to play in the west, but Crasnick ultimately does not believe geography will play a large part in his decision to sign with a team. The Yankees notably had success with former Chicago outfielder Nick Swisher in 2008.
|
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye has not been offered salary arbitration by the Chicago White Sox, according to Scott Merkin of MLB.com. |
Our View: He was never expected to return to the team in 2010. This enhances his signability, as now teams will not have to forfeit any draft picks by signing him, as he is a Type A free agent. The White Sox also declined to offer arbitration to Octavio Dotel (a fellow Type A free agent), Scott Podsednik and Ramon Castro.
|
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye appears to be squarely on the radar of the Rangers, though don't count out the Giants as potential suitors, according to MLBlogs.com. |
Our View: The Rangers would like to add a right-handed power bat to their lineup, while the Giants are desperate for power no matter where it comes from. Dye has mentioned a desire to move west, and San Francisco is about as west as you can get without falling into the ocean. Dye is aging, but he still owns a nice power bat - albeit one without upside.
|
|
|
|
| The Rangers are very interested in free agent outfielder Jermaine Dye, according to MLB.com. |
Our View: He would fill their need for a right-handed, middle-of-the-order bat. They also like his supposed willingness to play some first base. With Texas being a hitter's haven, a potential move to Dallas could be a fantasy boon, as well.
|
|
|
|
| Jon Heyman of Sports Illustrated tweeted that he is hearing that Jermaine Dye would like to play somewhere in the west. |
Our View: Heyman feels that Dye could be an option for the Rangers, who covet a right-handed bat. The White Sox replaced Dye with Andruw Jones in their outfield.
|
|
|
|
| The Yankees are not interested in free agent outfielder Jermaine Dye, according to the New York Post. |
Our View: He would be low-rent by the Yankees' standards, but the Bombers want to get younger, and the only geriatric outfielders they will consider giving contracts to this offseason are their own Johnny Damon and Hideki Matsui.
|
|
|
|
| According to Fox Sports, teams are interested in signing free agent outfielder Jermaine Dye as a first baseman, and he is amendable to the idea. |
Our View: Among those who are rumored to have inquired are the Braves, Mets, Giants and Orioles. Dye has made just one career appearance at first base, but the switch would be a great way to keep his still potent bat in the lineup and his diminishing defensive skills out of the outfield.
|
|
|
|
| The Braves could have interest in free agent outfielder Jermaine Dye, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. |
Our View: The Braves seem to take a shine to declining defensively, acceptable offensively American League outfielders, with Garret Anderson already on their roster. Dye still has a good amount of pop, but it's hard to believe he would be anything other than a very temporary solution on a team that desperately needs to get better offensively.
|
|
|
|
| As expected, the White Sox have bought out Jermaine Dye's 2010 mutual option, according to MLB.com. |
Our View: The move allows him to file for free agency. The Sox are not expected to offer him arbitration. Early possibilities for a 2010 team for Dye seem to be the Giants and Rangers.
|
|
|
|
| ESPN.com is reporting that the White Sox appear to be poised to allow outfielder Jermaine Dye to become a free agent this winter. Dye has a $12 million player option for 2010, but the team can buy him out for $1 million. |
Our View: The White Sox don't have much money to spend this winter, so it looks like they will let Dye walk instead of paying him his $12 million. There will be teams interested in the outfielder's services for the 2010 season, but he is getting up there in age and could see a significant drop-off in production soon.
|
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye went 3-for-4 with four RBI in tonight's 8-6 loss to the Twins at U.S. Cellular Field. He hit a single and two homers, one off Brian Duensing and the other Bob Keppel. |
Our View: Dye snapped a 16-game drought without a homer, but still ranks second on the Sox behind Paul Konerko (28) with 27. He has 325 homers for his career as well.
|
|
|
|
| According to the Chicago Sun-Times, the White Sox's are very unlikely to bring back outfielder Jermaine Dye for next season. Dye has a mutual $12 million option for 2010, and the financially-strapped Sox will not pay that kind of money for a guy who is hitting .168 in the second half this season. |
Our View: Dye's days in Chicago looks to be numbered, but he should catch on elsewhere as a regular corner outfielder. He won't likely be making $12 million next season, but he wants to prove that he can still play at a high level after his struggles this season.
|
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye is out of the White Sox's lineup for their Tuesday evening match-up against the Twins. Dye is batting .168 in the second half of the season. |
Our View: Dye has struggled mightily over the second half, so don't be shocked if he gets a few more days off before the end of the year. Alex Rios is in right field tonight, and he could see more playing time if Dye continues to sit.
|
|
|
|
| The White Sox have reportedly notified MLB teams that Jermaine Dye is available, according to ESPN. |
Our View: The Sox were swept by the Yankees over the weekend, and are 5.5 games behind Detroit for the lead in the AL Central. Dye has been struggling at the plate, and it is really not surprising to see the club place him on the trading block.
|
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye is out of tonight's lineup at Boston, according to the Chicago Tribune. |
Our View: Dye has been struggling at the plate, and skipper Ozzie Guillen decided to go with Mark Kotsay in right field, who used to be a member of the Red Sox.
|
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye is not in the White Sox lineup for their Saturday night game against the Indians. He will be replaced by DeWayne Wise in the outfield. |
Our View: Dye has been struggling as of late, going 2-for-14, so he will get the night off. He should be back tomorrow, so owners should get him back in the lineup if possible.
|
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye bombed his 23 homer of the season on Tuesday in the White Sox' 5-3 loss to the Dodgers. Dye went 2-for-4 with the solo shot. |
Our View: Dye is still leading the team in homers, and his average is at .288 for the season. He is driving runs in, and as long as he remains healthy the power numbers should stay steady for the rest of the season.
|
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer off rookie Brad Bergesen in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Orioles at U.S. Cellular Field. |
Our View: Dye launched his team-leading 21st homer of the season. He also raised his batting average to .302 and has 58 RBI. He should remain a rock-solid fantasy outfielder, as long as he can stay healthy.
|
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye was 3-for-4 with three RBI in Chicago's 5-1 win over the Indians on Wednesday night. He was the only White Sox player to record an extra-base hit (double). |
Our View: Dye has battled injuries all season, but he's still putting up stats worthy of a fantasy starter in any league. He's now hitting .297 with 20 homers and 54 RBI. Keep him in your lineup.
|
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye went 1-for-3 with a solo homer off reliever Jamey Wright in Sunday's 6-3 loss at Kansas City. |
Our View: Dye crushed his team-leading 20th homer of the season, and has 318 for his career. He has a homer in back-to-back games against Kansas City, his former team.
|
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye hit his 19th home run of the season on Saturday, but the White Sox lost 6-4 to the Royals in Kansas City. |
Our View: Dye now has 50 RBIs on the season, and remains a top-flight option in the outfield in every format.
|
|
|
|
| The Giants could be interested in trading for Jermaine Dye, according to the San Jose Mercury News. |
Our View: Dye is rumored to be on many teams' radars if the Sox decide to begin selling and move the veteran outfielder who has a mutual (must be both team and player approved)option for 2010 remaining on his contract. He is having his usual excellent season in 2009, batting .287 with 18 home runs and 45 RBIs, and would provide a huge boost to the Giants' foundering offense.
|
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye went 2-for-4 with a solo homer off Randy Wells in today's 5-4 loss to the cross-town rival Cubs at U.S. Cellular Field. His other hit was a single. |
Our View: Dye has two homers over his last three games, and continues to lead the Sox with 17. He has 315 homers for his career.
|
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer off lefty Randy Wolf in Wednesday's 10-7 win over the Dodgers at U.S. Cellular Field. His other knock was a double. |
Our View: Dye leads the Sox with 16 homers, and ranks second behind Paul Konerko (45) with 42 RBI. He ended an 11-game drought without a home run tonight.
|
|
|
|
| According to the Chicago Tribune, White Sox' outfielder Jermaine Dye is back in the lineup on Tuesday for Chicago's game against the Dodgers. Dye will hit third and play right field. |
Our View: Dye missed the last two games with a calf injury, but he is back and ready to go tonight. Fantasy owners should get him in the lineup if you can, as his calf is expected to be just fine.
|
|
|
|
| According to the Cincinnati Enquirer, Jermaine Dye was left out of the lineup once again on Sunday due to his strained calf. |
Our View: Dye is available to pinch hit Sunday, but should return to full time service on Tuesday. The extra day of rest on Monday (off day) should help tremendously.
|
|
|
|
| After deeming himself fit to play and saying he was "obviously ready to start", Jermaine Dye is not in Saturday's lineup against the Reds, according to the Chicago Tribune. |
Our View: Dye has been hampered by a strained calf all month and has constantly been in and out of the lineup. It's likely the calf is the reason once again, despite Dye's assurances that he is fit. Consider him perpetually day-to-day.
|
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye may not play Friday to nurse his strained left calf, according to MLBblogs.com. |
Our View: Skipper Ozzie Guillen will be cautious with Dye, as the club is already without top outfielder Carlos Quentin. Stay tuned for updates.
|
|
|
|
| Updating a previous report, Jermaine Dye is indeed in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs, according to the Chicago Tribune. |
Our View: This is what we expected. Dye will hit third and face Ryan Dempster. Fell free to start him today.
|
|
|
|
| According to the Chicago Tribune, Jermaine Dye got a third consecutive day off to rest his ailing calf after Tuesday's rainout and he is expected to play in Wednesday's contest. |
Our View: Dye isn't convinced that one extra day helped all that much, but he says the calf is getting better and the swelling has gone down. He determined to keep trotting out there and giving it his all so feel free to put him in your lineup, but monitor him closely to make sure he doesn't aggravate the injury.
|
|
|
|
| The Chicago Sun-Times anticipates that the White Sox will soon be shopping outfielder and RBI-machine Jermaine Dye. Ken Williams was recently quoted as saying, "Hard decisions always have to be made, but very clearly, we are in a transitional phase and if this team doesn't pick it up at some point, I'm going to have to do some things that maybe aren't the most popular, but in the best interest of the club." |
Our View: It remains to be seen how many teams are looking for another outfielder or DH, but Dye is always a good bat in the lineup and one that has had postseason success. Dye leads all AL outfielders in RBI and home runs over the past five seasons.
|
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye was productive in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Tigers at U.S. Cellular Field as he went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer off Armando Galarraga. His other knock was a single. |
Our View: Dye hit his team-leading 15th homer, with eight coming at home. He also leads the Sox with 39 RBI.
|
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye is set to return to Chicago's lineup for today's home game against the rival Indians, according to the Chicago Tribune. |
Our View: He was out of action while serving a two-game suspension. Dye should be fine to return to fantasy lineups. Half of his 14 homers this season have been launched from U.S. Cellular Field.
|
|
|
|
| According to the Chicago Tribune, slugger Jermaine Dye will be out the lineup on Friday when the White Sox play the Indians to begin serving a two-game suspension. |
Our View: Brian Anderson will take his place in right field tonight, and likely tomorrow.
|
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye was solid at the plate in Tuesday's 5-0 loss to Oakland at U.S. Cellular Field, as he went 2-for-4 with a pair of singles. |
Our View: The Sox only had five hits in the game, all of them singles. Dye quietly extended his hitting streak to nine games, with 12 total hits over the span.
|
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye was 2-for-5 with a home run, a walk, four RBI, and three runs scored in Monday's 17-3 beating of the Angels. |
Our View: Dye has four home runs in his last six games and 12 on the season. The 35-year-old continues to bring a lot of value to his fantasy owners and thrives as the No. 3 hitter in the White Sox offense.
|
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye is not in the White Sox' lineup on Sunday, according to the Chicago Tribune. He will be replaced by Brian Anderson in right field. |
Our View: This is just a day off for Dye, so get him out of the lineup today if you have another option. He will be back in the lineup tomorrow, so play him after today.
|
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye went 1-for-4 on Wednesday but his one hit was a big one. Dye hit a fourth inning grand slam to help the White Sox to a 7-4 win. |
Our View: Dye is still producing on a fairly regular basis so far this season, and he is quietly having another nice year. Keep him in the lineup, and if you can trade for him at a reduced price it would probably be a good idea.
|
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye went 1-for-4 with a home run, a run scored, and two RBI in the White Sox 8-3 loss to the Blue Jays on Friday. |
Our View: Dye is appealing his two-game suspension, and good thing he did. The homer didn't impact the game much, but it did impact fantasy contests, so owners should be happy he played tonight.
|
|
|
|
| Updating an earlier report, Jermaine Dye is in Chicago's lineup for tonight's game against Toronto, according to the Chicago Tribune. |
Our View: Dye will apparently appeal his two-game suspension. We will keep you posted if his status changes.
|
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye has been dealt a two-game suspension and fined an undisclosed amount by the MLB for arguing balls and strikes with home plate umpire Mike DiMuro during Wednesday's game, according to the Sports Network. |
Our View: Dye will start his suspension tonight when the Sox play Toronto if he does not appeal.
|
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye returned to the lineup on Tuesday and promptly went 2-for-6 with a homer and two RBI. The Sox fell to the Royals in 11 innings, however. |
Our View: This is a great sign for Dye owners, as he has been suffering from a sore hand. His hand looked fine tonight on his home run, but he did strike out three times. He should be fine going forward, so keep him in your lineup.
|
|
|
|
| According to the Chicago Tribune, Jermaine Dye is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game. |
Our View: Dye has been nursing a sore hand after being hit by a pitch, but he has been deemed good to go. Be sure to get him back into your lineups for tonight.
|
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye is out of the lineup for the second straight game with a swollen left hand, according to the Chicago Tribune. Brent Lillibridge will get another start in the outfield as a result. |
Our View: The White Sox are really just happy that the slugger is not on the DL. After being hit in the hand on Saturday, Ozzie Guillen said he immediately started wondering who would take his place for the rest of the summer. Dye should be back at some point this week.
|
|
|
|
| Updating a previous report, Jermaine Dye could return as soon as Monday night, according to the Chicago Tribune. Dye was hit on the hand Saturday and is nursing a nasty bruise. |
Our View: Dye was originally thought to be lost for the season, but the injury turned out to be far less severe. Dye is hitting .289 with six homers and 13 RBI on the season and the Sox will be happy to get his bat back in the lineup.
|
|
|
|
| The Chicago Tribune is reportng that Jermaine Dye will not be in the lineup Sunday after bruising his hand on Saturday night. Jayson Nix will start in his place. |
Our View: Dye's injury doesn't look serious, but Ozzie Guillen decided to give him the night off since the Sox are facing a lefty. Expect him to return to the lineup very soon.
|
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye exited tonight's game at Texas in the sixth inning when he was struck on the top of the left hand by a pitch from righty Luis Mendoza, according to the Associated Press.
|
Our View: X-rays came back negative, and he only suffered a bruised hand. It is yet to be determined if he will miss any time.
|
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye was 1-for-3 with two RBI, two runs scored, two walks, and a home run as the White Sox beat the Blue Jays 10-2 on Saturday. |
Our View: Dye has collected five home runs this month and the veteran is off to a strong start this season. However, even after his two walks tonight, he has 17 strikeouts compared to just five walks which could signal a future dip in production.
|
|
|
|
| Outfielder Jermaine Dye struck out three times on Friday, but he also hit a two-run homer against the Rays. He has gone deep in four of the last five games. |
Our View: Dye is off to an excellent start in all phases, and he is leaving little doubt that he is aiming to repeat his solid 2008 campaign. He is probably trying to earn the $12 million mutual option on his contract for 2010.
|
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye went 3-for-5 with a two-run homer against the Rays on Thursday. |
Our View: Dye hit a rather quiet 34 home runs to go along with his .292 batting average last season and has already jacked three homers this season while batting .400. He should continue to produce while positioned in the heart of Chicago's lineup.
|
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye crushed his 300th career home run in the second inning of Monday's game against the Tigers. The homer was surrendered by Zach Miner. |
Our View: The Sox are playing at hitter-friendly Comerica Park, and Dye took advantage while reaching the career milestone. Also of note, Paul Konerko hit the 300th homer of his career in the same inning.
|
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye drove in the only run of the ballgame for Chicago in a 2-1 loss to the Royals on Thursday. |
Our View: Dye finished the loss 1-for-4, collecting one of only four hits for the White Sox. He early-season average fell to .417.
|
|
|
|
| White Sox outfielder Jermaine Dye is refusing to let the topic of his contract situation in Chicago interfere with his performance on the field, according to MLB.com. I've experienced this sort of thing before," said Dye, who is set to be a free-agent after next season, unless the White Sox pick up a $12 million option. "There's no use coming to the field worrying every day if you are going to be here or not. It's especially true of things like that when a team starts struggling." |
Our View: It's possible GM Ken Williams will unload some high-priced veterans should the White Sox begin to struggle this season, and that includes Dye, who hit just .203 with one home run and three RBI during the spring. On the flip side, however, he does have more homers and RBI than any AL outfielder since 2005.
|
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye was 1-for-3 with an RBI on Tuesday, but he struck out and stranded three runners in the game. He's hitting a measly .185 this spring. |
Our View: Dye is having a rough preseason, but should right the ship soon enough. He was a solid fantasy contributor last season, but he is 35 and likely won't blow anyone's doors off this year. Still, he's better than he's shown this spring.
|
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye had a rough afternoon on Sunday, going 0-for-3 while leaving four runners stranded. |
Our View: Dye is most likely going to be traded during this year, as he is in the last year of his deal with the White Sox. They'll certainly want to dump his salary if they're not in contention.
|
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye said that this season is likely his last with the team, and he realizes he may be traded at some point during the season, the Chicago Sun-Times reports. |
Our View: Dye's contract is up after this season, but there is a mutual option for next season that would pay him $12 million.
|
|
|
|
| GM Tony Reagins shot down the rumor that the Angels are pursuing outfielder Jermaine Dye, according to the LA Times. |
Our View: The Angels were interested in Dye at one time, but was before they re-signed Juan Rivera.
|
|
|
|
| The Angels are apparently looking at Jermaine Dye just two days after White Sox GM Kenny Williams denied that his team is working on moving the slugger, according to the Orange County Register. |
Our View: After the Angels missed out on the Mark Teixeira sweepstakes, they're still looking to upgrade their offense and have publicly said that they aren't interested in Manny Ramirez. Dye hit .292 last year with 34 home runs and 96 RBI, so he would be a significant upgrade on Garrett Anderson who only hit 15 home runs with 84 RBI in 2008. That would allow the Angels to field an outfield of Jermaine Dye, Gary Matthews Jr., and Torri Hunter while using Vladimir Guerrero as a DH. This of course, would be if the Angels didn't have to deal any of the players we just listed in order to acquire Dye.
|
|
|
|
| White Sox general manager Kenny Williams denies that his club is working on a big deal involving outfielder Jermaine Dye, the Chicago Tribune reports. One rumor includes Dye and pitching prospect Aaron Poreda going to the Rangers for shortstop Michael Young. |
Our View: Dye is set to earn $11.5 million in 2009, and he holds a mutual option ($12 million) for 2010. He has been surrounded by trade rumors for months, and we doubt the chatter will, ahem, die down after Williams's comments.
|
|
|
|
| Among the options that the Yankees are considering is trading for White Sox outfielder Jermaine Dye, the New York Post reports. |
Our View: The team is also interested in premium free agents Mark Teixeira and Manny Ramirez, so they probably wouldn't settle for Dye unless their other two plans fall through.
|
|
|
|
| WFAN in New York is reporting that the White Sox and braves are in serious discussions regarding Jermaine Dye. |
Our View: The two teams have already pulled off a big trade involving Javier Vazquez and it is at least a possiblity that they workout a second deal. Then again, the Braves have been rumored in nearly every rumor floating around.
|
|
|
|
| SI.com reports that a person familiar with the White Sox's thinking said late Monday night, "The Jermaine Dye trades are dead ... for tonight, anyway." The Rays, Braves and Reds are among 10 teams to express interest in Dye. |
Our View: The White Sox already have traded Javier Vazquez and Nick Swisher, and are letting shortstop Orlando Cabrera leave as a free agent. They'd consider dealing Dye, but surely not for fallen Reds pitching prospect Homer Bailey. They'd need a lot more than that for a middle-of-the-order hitter like Dye. The White Sox are always one of the most aggressive, creative teams, so it will be interesting to see whether they will utilize all their new-found spending money.
|
|
|
|
| Hal McCoy of the Dayton Daily News said the source of his reported Jermaine Dye for Homer Bailey trade was a high-ranking White Sox official and that a deal had been in the works, despite the denials. |
Our View: Dye for Bailey was said to be a go, and then denials came out, most notably from Reds GM Walt Jocketty. McCoy says it's now possible the deal hit a snag.
|
|
|
|
| MLB.com reports that Reds' GM Walt Jocketty commented on the rumored Homer Bailey-for- Jermaine Dye trade on Sunday. "Wrong. It's not even close," Jocketty said. There have been talks between the Reds and White Sox involving Dye, but they are not active. "We haven't had any discussions with the White Sox since before Thanksgiving," Jocketty said. |
Our View: The deal could still possibly get done, but the Sox want more prospects other than Homer Bailey, who struggled last season.
|
|
|

| The Chicago Tribune is reporting that a source familiar with the Jermaine Dye-for-Homer Bailey trade talks rejected a report in the Dayton Daily News quoting a "major-league source close to the situation" that a deal to send Sox right fielder Jermaine Dye to Cincinnati for pitcher Homer Bailey "was done and would be announced this week." |
Our View: Whether it's official or not, this deal seems very close to being done. Dye hit .292 last season with 34 home runs and 96 RBI last season.
|
|
|
|
| The Dayton Daily News is reporting that Jermaine Dye has been traded to the Cincinnati Reds for Homer Bailey.
|
Our View: This is a rebuilding team trading for an aging slugger? Bailey is a bit of a headcase who has upset the clubhouse, but he still has ace potential and this deal could look as bad as the John Danks for Brandon McCarthy deal the White Sox pulled off two seasons ago.
|
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye could be the next player to get traded, according to Jayson Stark of ESPN.com. |
Our View: There are a number of teams interested in Dye, including the Braves, Reds, Rays, Mets and Royals.
|
|
|
|
| There is a rumor circulating that the Mets are talking about dealing top prospect Fernando Martinez to the White Sox for Jermaine Dye and Bobby Jenks, according to the NY Post. |
Our View: The Mets have shot down the report, however. Martinez is still considered untouchable by the team. Dye would be a strong addition to the Mets' outfield, but not worth losing Martinez to acquire him.
|
|
|
|
| The Chicago Tribune reports that the Reds and White Sox are having trade discussions involving Jermaine Dye. |
Our View: Dye, who has hit 137 home runs in the last four years, will earn $11.5 million in 2009, with a mutual option for $12 million in 2010 that includes a $1 million buyout. He hit .292 with 34 home runs and 96 RBI.
|
|
|
|
| There is speculation that the Cardinals may be interested in outfielder Jermaine Dye, according to CardinalsBestNews.com. |
Our View: They would join the Phillies, Braves, and Rays as the clubs known to be interested in Dye. The Sox are asking for a young starting pitcher plus additional players in exchange for Dye, and it remains to be seen if the Cardinals will make a proposal.
|
|
|
|
| The Rays would like to acquire Jermaine Dye, but the White Sox want more than Andy Sonnanstine and Edwin Jackson in return, according to the Boston Globe. |
Our View: The Rays feel Dye would be a great fit to fill their void in the outfield, but may not be willing to give up more than the back of their rotation to land him.
|
|
|
|
| There is a rumor circulating that the Reds are talking to the White Sox in a potential trade of Jermaine Dye for Homer Bailey, according to 1530 WCKY in Cincinnati. |
Our View: The Sox are looking for a young starting pitcher in exchange for Dye, and the hyped Homer Bailey would fit the bill.
|
|
|
|
| The Braves have inquired about Chicago outfielder Jermaine Dye, according to MLB.com. Atlanta also asked about Javier Vazquez. |
Our View: The Sox are looking for a young starter plus additional players in exchange for Dye, so the Braves may be turned away unless they lower their asking price. Dye notably started his career with Atlanta back in 1996, and is two homers away from 300 for his career.
|
|
|
|
| The Phillies, Mets, and Rays have inquired about Chicago outfielder Jermaine Dye, but have been turned off by his hefty asking price, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports. |
Our View: The Sox are looking for a young starter plus additional players in exchange for Dye. He is set to earn $11.5 million in the final year of his contract in 2009, meaning he would likely be a one-year rental. He can block a trade to six teams, most of which are said to be in the northeast.
|
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye is apparently available, according to the Chicago Tribune. He does have a limited no-trade clause. |
Our View: The White Sox are looking for prospects in return. The 35-year-old hit .292 with 34 home runs and 96 RBI last season.
|
|
|
|
| The Phillies may be interested in a trade with the White Sox to acquire outfielder Jermaine Dye, according to ESPN-AM 1000 in Chicago. |
Our View: The 2008 champs are expected to lose Pat Burrell, so perhaps they can swing a 1-for-1 deal with Dye.
|
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye could end up being traded this offseason as the White Sox will likely look to get a bit younger and more athletic, according to Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports. |
Our View: Dye is coming off a .292-34-96-96 effort and is under contract for $11.5 million next season with a $12 million mutual option in 2010. If the Sox do indeed decide to go in another direction, Dye would certainly be an attractive option for a team looking to add some pop to their lineup.
|
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye is doing his part for the struggling Sox, as they currently trail the Rays 2-0 in the ALDS, according to MLB.com. Dye said, "No matter if it's a playoff or a regular-season game, anytime you do well and your team loses, you still feel like you failed. We just try to find a way to win, no matter what. We win or lose as a team. There are no heroes on this team. We're all together. If we lose, I feel like I didn't do enough to help the team win."
|
Our View: Dye is hitting 5-for-9 over the two losses at Tropicana Field, and is more than halfway towards matching his career-best hit total for a postseason series, and he's been in 10 of them over his career. Dye will try to pull Chicago back into the series Sunday at U.S. Cellular Field in Game 3.
|
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye was 4-for-5 with four singles on Friday against the Rays in Game 2 of the ALDS. One of his "hits" was a liner that was dropped by the shortstop, thrown across the diamond where Dye was tagged on the back. The umpire was in poor position which resulted in a poor call and Dye was ruled safe. The Sox lost the game 6-2. |
Our View: Unfortunately the rest of his lineup couldn't knock him in even once. The Sox left their clutch hitting in Chicago as they left runners on base all night.
|
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye had two hits in four trips to the plate on Tuesday night to help the White Sox to defeat the Twins to move on to the playoffs. |
Our View: Dye ends the year just short of multiple milestones with 34 home runs, 96 RBI and 96 runs scored. Still, when you toss in a .292 batting average you have one heck of a season from the Sox consistent power threat that calls right field home.
|
|
|
|
| The AP reports that Jermaine Dye had a clutch two-run single for the White Sox in the seventh inning of their 5-1 victory over the Indians on Sunday. He was 2-for-4 in the game. |

|
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye went hitless in four at-bats for the White Sox in their 9-3 loss to the Twins on Tuesday. |
Our View: Dye has had a miserable September, and has not hit a home run since late August. His overall numbers are very good, but he has been detrimental to fantasy owners the last month.
|
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye had two hits and two RBI for the White Sox on Thursday night to push his season total up to 87 runs batted in. |
Our View: Dye has only knocked in only four runs over his last 12 appearances, and the team certainly needs more than that from the slugger with Carlos Quentin on the sidelines.
|
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye has had better games than the one he played in the White Sox 3-2 loss to the Angels. Dye went 0-for-3 and struck out twice. |
Our View: This is the third time in six games Dye has struck out multiple times. He has struggled to a .217 average in September.
|
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye had a chance to win the game for the White Sox but popped up with the bases loaded in the bottom of the 14th inning in Chicago's 4-3 loss to Baltimore. The game was a continuation of one that began in April but was suspended due to weather. |
Our View: Dye is having a great year overall, with 31 home runs, 81 RBI and a batting average near .300, so fantasy owners are likely willing to look past Monday's outcome.
|
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye was a one-man wrecking crew for the White Sox Saturday, as he pounded out two homers, his 30th and 31st of the season, in a loss to the Rays. |
Our View: Most of the talk about the White Sox offense begins with Carlos Quentin, but Dye has had a fantastic year, as well.
|
|
|
|
| The White Sox put the smack down on the Royals this evening, winning 9-0 with a splash of offense from outfielder Jermaine Dye . Dye went 2-for-4 with his 26th double and 28th home run of the season, posting three RBIs and two runs scored on the night. |
Our View: Dye improves to a .302 average on the season, though his pace ha slowed in August, having hit .341 in July versus just .211 in August. Hoewver, he now carries four homers on the month with nine RBIs and 10 runs scored.
|
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 9-7 loss to the Royals. |

|
|
| Jermaine Dye homered for the third straight day in the White Sox 6-4 loss to the Tigers. It marks the 24th home run of his season. He added a double and finished the day 2-for-3. |
Our View: Dye has been a pleasant surprise in 2008. His batting average is 60 points higher than it was a season ago. He is hitting .364 with six home runs, 15 RBI, and 15 runs scored in July.
|
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye, who has been dealing with a bruised right knee, could be ready to return to Chicago's lineup Tuesday, according to the Chicago Tribune. Dye initially feared the injury was serious, but X-rays proved to be negative. |
Our View: Dye has racked up 10 hits, one homer, and five RBI over his last five games, and hopefully he can pick up where he left off before getting hurt, possibly starting tonight.
|
|
|
|

Our View: Brian Anderson replaced him in the outfield. We will keep you posted when more is known regarding Dye's injury.

|
|

|
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye didn't make the All-Star team on Thursday but he continued to produce on the field by going 2-for-4 with his 20th home runs of the season for the Sox. |
Our View: Over his last 63 games, Dye has been a run producing monster with 18 home runs and 45 RBI. Dye is now hitting .301 with 20 home runs and 53 RBI as he has clearly returned to the type of hitter he was in 2006, and that means trouble for opposing pitchers.
|
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye went 2-for-3 with a home run helping the White Sox win their second straight over the crosstown rival Cubs 6-5 on Saturday afternoon. |
Our View: Dye hit his 18th home run of the season and raised his average to .306 on the season.
|
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye has blasted seven home runs over his last eight games during which time he is batting .419 to push his season long average to the cusp of .300 at .297, according to MLB.com. "You don't want to get too caught up in hitting home runs. I try to stay from right-center to left-center, and take what the pitchers give me." |
Our View: Dye is a solid run producer who has been unfairly compared to his near MVP season of 2006 when he hit .315-44-120, numbers he will likely never approach again. Still, there is nothing wrong with a guy continually knocks in over 80 runs with 25 or more home runs, numbers he is on pace to blow past this season thanks to the recent hot streak.
|
|
|
|
| MLB.com reports that Jermaine Dye was named the AL Player of the Week for last week. The outfielder was 10-for-24 with five home runs, three doubles, and 13 RBI. |
Our View: Dye has rebounded from a weak April and is now posting healthy power numbers while cutting down on his strikeouts. He remains a far better play at home than on the road, but expect him to continue to produce for the White Sox.
|
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye went 2-for-5 with three RBI in Saturday's 11-7 loss to the Cubs. Most of his damage came on a two-run homer. |

|
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer in Sunday's 5-3 defeat to the Rockies in Chicago. |

|
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye went 2-for-4 with a solo homer in Wednesday's win over the Indians. The veteran outfielder is hitting .292 with seven homers in May. |
Our View: Dye had been in a mini-slump, and it's nice to see him put one on the boooooooard....yyyeess! He's a safe start in all fantasy leagues.
|
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye got off to a slow start this year, but he's making up for lost time. The outfielder had a pair of home runs Wednesday and drove in four runs. Dye hit just .263 with one homer in April but has put together a .333-6-11 line this month. |
Our View: Dye is looking to rebound from a subpar '07 season, and his .307-8-20 line suggests he could be on his way to accomplishing just that.
|
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye went 2-for-3 on Thursday with a home run, the third straight game he has gone yard. |
Our View: Dye has pushed his average to .275 and he now has six home runs, though he only has knocked in 14 runs. Dye should finish between the two extremes he posted the past two years, making him a solid third outfielder in most leagues.
|
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye went 2-for-3 with a homer, two runs, and two RBI in Tuesday's win against the Twins. The outfielder also managed not to strike out. He had whiffed 15 times in the previous 10 games. |
Our View: A lingering groin injury has been bothering Dye, and it's good to see him have such a productive day. It might be a decent time for fantasy owners to buy low.
|
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye had a tough day at the plate in Sunday's 4-3 loss to Toronto. He went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts, while leaving two men on base. |

|
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye will return to right field for the White Sox when they battle the Twins tonight, according to MLB.com. He was previously out of action while nursing a groin injury. |

|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|

|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye scored two runs and had an RBI for the White Sox on Saturday in their victory over the Tigers. Dye is hitting a blistering .474 in his first 19 AB as he tries to return to the 30 HR, 100 form he has showed in seasons past (he hit just .254-28-78 in 2007). |
|

|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye was scheduled to test out his strained right quadriceps on Friday. However, the workout was postponed until Saturday due to slippery conditions, according to the Chicago Tribune. "Hopefully, [the injury] doesn't take 15 days [to heal]," Dye said. It's anyone's guess when he'll play again. If all goes well Saturday, he could be back in the mix within a day or two. If not, he could end on the disabled list. |
|
|
|

|
|
|
| The White Sox remain hopeful that Jermaine Dye (strained quadriceps) will return to the lineup this weekend, the AP reports.

|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye doesn’t think he’ll end up on the disabled list, but it’s not because his ailing quadriceps isn’t hurting. “I don’t think they feel there is anyone they can bring up [from the minor leagues]” Dye told the Chicago Tribune. “I’m going to give it a few more days, keep getting treatment, and I’m sure if it’s not getting better they’ll make a move. But [general manager Ken Williams] just told me to make sure I’m right and not come back and re-injure it… just make sure I’m right.” |
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye missed his third straight game on Monday because of a strained left quadriceps, according to the AP. Manager Ozzie Guillen said a decision on whether Dye will go on the 15-day disabled list probably will be made before this four-game series ends Thursday. |
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye missed Sunday's game due to a strained right quadriceps. He was in enough pain that a trip to the disabled list appears likely, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. The White Sox should make a decision on what to do with him within the next few days, which makes him a tough play if you have to set your weekly lineup on Monday. |
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye continues to play despite suffering from a strained left quadriceps. “It’s still pulled, but I’ll play until it blows [out],” Dye told the Chicago Sun-Times. “It’s not painful right now, but if I try to do anything – try to score from second or make another diving play – there’s a chance it will pull again. I’ll have to be cautions in what I do. I don’t want to go on the DL.” |
|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye, who left Monday's game in the fourth inning with a sore quadriceps after making two sliding catches, was back in the lineup Tuesday, the AP reports. He went 1-for-4, scoring one run and driving in one. "It's not painful right now," Dye said before the game. |

|
|
| The White Sox will not talk about contract extensions until after the season, the Chicago Sun-Times reports. Jermaine Dye is one of the team's high-profile free-agents-to-be, along with Tadahito Iguchi and Mark Buehrle. General Manager Ken Williams feels confident he can retain his core group of talent, even if the discussions don't resume until the off-season. "We have such a good relationship with all these guys," Williams said Tuesday. "When it's all said and done, they'll give us a chance to match what's on the open market because they want to stay."

|
|
|
| Jermaine Dye was one of several Chicago regulars who got the night off Wednesday, along with Paul Konerko, Joe Crede and Juan Uribe. It's likely that Ozzie Guillen will go back to a more regular lineup on the weekend at division-contending Minnesota. Wednesday's game was played in the rain and ultimately shortened to eight innings, so Guillen had some additional incentive not to expose his key guys. |
|
