All Attention Turns To Tampa
Oct 23, 2014 9:56 AM
The White Sox have been the most aggressive suitors for both Aubrey Huff and Danys Baez, and a White Sox scout attended yesterday's Red Sox-Devil Rays game at Tropicana Field -- although Baez didn't pitch, and Huff only pinch hit.
The White Sox have a bevy of young players, including righthander Brandon McCarthy, who can be used in a trade.
Huff is surging after a weak first half, and some interested executives believe the 28-year-old was simply "bored" playing for such a bad club.
Devil Rays general manager Chuck LaMar is the X-factor in these discussions. LaMar is a notoriously difficult trading partner, and his coup last year, getting Scott Kazmir from the Mets in return for Victor Zambrano, has only emboldened him to make high demands.
