General manager Jim Hendry said he'd have no problem making a deal with the White Sox before Tuesday's non-waiver trading deadline if a trade made sense. He and Sox general manager Kenny Williams are on good terms, and they completed a trade in the offseason, the Sox sending Neal Cotts to the Cubs for David Aardsma in a swap of relievers.

Tampering rules prevent Hendry from discussing specific players, but the Daily Herald has speculated the Cubs were looking at Sox right fielder Jermaine Dye.

"Kenny and I have always had good dialogue," Hendry said, "and I don't think there would be any way he would shy away from us if he felt he could help his club."

Hendry said he would like to do some "tinkering" with the roster and that he's looking for a hitter for the bench.
