The Chicago White Sox declined Alexei Ramirez's $10 million option last week, but they haven't ruled out re-signing the infielder.

"Essentially the decision made is we weren’t going to pay Alexei $10 million for 2016," Rick Hahn told CSN Chicago. "We haven’t closed the door on potentially bringing Alexei back. He served us extremely well for eight years in a White Sox uniform and obviously middle infield is a position of interest for us going into the offseason. We’ll continue talking to his guy. Nothing has been shut for the future just yet."

The market at shortstop is fairly thin this offseason, so Ramirez could receive several offers.
