The New York newspapers are rumored to be interested in trading away Alex Rodriguez and the White Sox keep popping up as a possible landing spot. ''Every time you mention [Rodriguez's] name, it seems like our name also comes up,'' Ozzie Guillen said in a phone interview. ''This kid is one of the best in the game. I don't know the exact direction we're going at this point because we're not sure about the [Joe] Crede situation. ''Obviously, [Williams] might shop for him,'' Guillen said of A-Rod. ''If he's going to make this team better, we'll try and do it.''
