White Sox ready to start unloading?

08:51 AM ET 12.17 | At some point, the White Sox may look to shed some payroll after an active offseason. Three of the White Sox's six highest paid players are pitchers, including the top two in Jake Peavy at $16 million and Mark Buehrle at $14 million. At No. 6 is Edwin Jackson, who will make $8.75 million. Peavy is rehabbing an injury and doesn???t figure to have much trade value. Buehrle is one of the faces of the franchise and his high price tag would be difficult to move. Plus, he can block any trade as a 10-and-five player. Perhaps the answer to get at least a little payroll relief is to find a taker for Jackson and his salary.

How about Edwin Jackson to the Yankees for prospects? They need piching and Jackson didn't make any dramatic difference for the Sox.

i like the rotation of , Peavey, Buehrle, Floyd, Danks and Jackson. Five quality starters. I hope the sox keep this group together.

They just sent Daniel Hudson to the desert for Jackson. Disappointed already? I hope Peavy is ready to compete for the Cy Young because he's a spectacular pitcher regardless of Petco Park.

They are making a run. I think the article is implying one trade or so just to alleviate some salary room.

It's not worded well. "Unloading" is the term here that is throwing people off. The real rumor might be that the Sox are looking to trade Quentin. The starting pitching is what the Sox are banking on to succeed this upcoming year along with hitting HR.

He was pitching well before he blew his shoulder out, if fairness was to be found here.

If you don't have pitching you don't have anything. Pointless to go after Dunn or anyone else if you are going to get rid of pitching.

They will not unload a starter, it just doesn't make sense. Who knows what Peavy is going to do with his health concerns, so theirs no way they trade away another one of the starters. Sale is needed in the bullpen and possibly a fill in for peavy so he's not going anywhere. They thought about trading people (TCQ), but kenny didn't like the value he would get back ; so Jerry provided more money to spend. Unloading a starter would still have the payroll high, and would take away any advantage they now have in the division.

That's all you're going to get. The injury he has pretty much ends his career as an ace. At most you can expect .... wait no.... you're not getting anything from him ever again.

Outside of Price are there any other Shine pitchers of note? I'm just asking. Bob Gibson must be busting a kidney.
