Guillen On Coaching Cubs: 'Everybody Has A Price'

White Sox Manager Ozzie Guillen wouldn't rule out ever taking a job with the crosstown Cubs if his current employer decided to fire him, according to The Chicago Tribune.

"I can not say no because you never burn your bridges," Guillen said.

He has a close relationship with Cubs' General Manager Jim Hendry.

"You never know what's going on in life," Guillen said. "I love the general manager. I get along real well with everyone in the organization. I respect the organization. But I saw ( Los Angeles Dodgers manager) Joe Torre the other day in that Dodgers' uniform, and it looked weird."
