Peavy Wants Gonzalez On White Sox

White Sox pitcher Jake Peavy wants to see the team make a play for former teammate Adrian Gonzalez, according a report.

"I want Adrian to be my teammate over here," Peavy told CBS Sports.

The Padres are believed to have made Gonzalez available for quite some time.

"That's really what we need, a big left-handed hitter," according to one unnamed club source. "They're saying Kenny [Williams] would give anything to get him, maybe even [second baseman Gordon] Beckham."

Dye Is 'Shocked' That He's Unemployed

Jermaine Dye is shocked that he's still unemployed.

"I'm shocked," Dye told the Chicago Sun-Times. "I really am in disbelief, but what can I do?"

Over the last five seasons with the White Sox, Dye was first among American League outfielders in home runs and second in RBI.

"I still feel like I'm a productive player and feel like I can contribute, but teams want me as a backup player, and that's something I'm not ready to do," Dye said.

"I feel undervalued, basically. I don't think I have to go out there and prove anything to anyone. My numbers the last five or six years show I can help someone."

Konerko Ponders Possible Chicago Exit

White Sox first baseman Paul Konerko talked on Friday about entering the final season of his contract.

"I've enjoyed my time here," Konerko said. "You're always going to pick up the phone if they call, if that happens. They might call tomorrow, they might call in the middle of the season, and then again they might not ever call. That's very possible.

"If that happens, fine, that's great. We've had a great run here. I know what I can control, and I know the ending won't be bad, because both sides will handle it the right way."

Chicago general manager Ken Williams said he'll sit down with Konerko and his agent Craig Landis at some point this spring to gauge their interest in a possible extension.
