08:12 AM ET 12.06 | With one report indicating Mark Buehrle has at least a dozen suitors, the free agent lefty's chances of returning to Chicago may be growing longer, but that didn't stop Robin Ventura from making his pitch. [Ventura] said he ran into [Buehrle] a couple of weeks ago in New York. Having been a free agent himself, Ventura knows the emotions Buehrle is dealing with, so he made a modest effort to convince him to stay with the Sox. "I made my case in person to him," Ventura said at the winter meetings Monday. "I just wanted him to know what I thought of him and what he's meant to the organization." And Buehrle's reaction? "He just smiled, kind of laughed," Ventura said. "I didn't expect anything different. He gets it. I get it, too."

Not necessarily. I bet if the Cardinals make him a competitive offer (I don't even know if they're pursuing him), I'd bet my daughter he comes here.

Well seeing as the Cards already have 5 starters, where is he going to pitch?

i'm sure it's hard for him. i'm sure all things equal he'd like to resign with the white sox, but they're gonna need to rebuild and i wouldn't blame beurhle for wanting to spend his last few years with a contender.

I know he told Buehrle not to sign with Texas because when you mess up Ryan will throw a headlock on you and give you a bloody lip.

Those punches that Ryan threw at Ventura were so weak they looked like love taps. That scene was funny to watch alright but Ryan had absolutely nothing behind those punches.

I think he was actually afraid that he could easily kill him if he really punched him. Ryan may very well have been an old guy at the time but Ventura had nothing for him.

I think he was playing to the camera without hurting him.

It sounds like the Cardinals are trying to make room by shopping Lohse and Westbrook.

If the White Sux want Buehrle so bad, then make him a good offer. Make him the best offer.
...the best policy
