My favorite teams
White Sox left-hander Mark Buehrle said he would be willing to approve a trade, depending on the circumstances, if the South Siders were looking to deal him, writes Scott Merkin of MLB.com.
Buehrle, being a 10-year veteran with at least five of those coming with the White Sox, has full no-trade protection. Buehrle said there are teams he wouldn't want to play for and would therefore veto being dealt to them, but he also said that he would accept certain trades if one were in the best interest of the White Sox because he is on good terms with the team and owner Jerry Reinsdorf.
"They have done enough for me," Buehrle told Merkin.
Chicago, though, is considered a strong contender in the AL Central this year and is not actively interested in trading any of its starters, according to Merkin. Buehrle, in the final season of a four-year, $56MM deal, could be an attractive in-season trade target for contending teams should the White Sox get off to a slow start and fall out of the postseason picture.
