Fields Optioned Down per Van Dyck?

[Brian26]

Dave Van Dyck said in the paper this morning that Fields has been optioned to Charlotte. The Sox have two roster spots open now if you consider Horacio Ramirez taking the place of Contreras. I imagine they'd have to bring Getz up unless Kenny's working another magical trade for Blum right now.

Edit- I don't see confirmation on whitesox.com, but Van Dyck's article is still on chicagosports.

DeLuca has the same story in the SunTimes Logan out, Fields out, Contreras to DL Getz, Ramirez and a pticher will be added today

Is this a pre-trade move?

Edit: Nevermind. I doubt Fields would make it through waivers.
