Don’t expect Dye to switch Sox (http://www.projo.com/redsox/content/sp_bb_rsoxjo19_07-19-07_926E5EH.3548e09.html)
Despite the Red Sox’ heavy interest, it does not appear the team will be able to land outfielder Jermaine Dye from the Chicago White Sox.
According to sources, Dye has told the White Sox that he does not want to go somewhere where he won’t be in the everyday lineup. Dye is a free agent at the end of this season and doesn’t want to diminish his value further by playing irregularly.
Meanwhile, a former White Sox pitcher, reliever Damaso Marte, has moved onto the Red Sox’ radar. Marte, now with the Pittsburgh Pirates, is being coveted in light of the recent struggles by Sox’ lefty specialist Javier Lopez. Lopez is holding lefty hitters to a .220 average, but his overall effectiveness is down, having allowed five runs in his last 12 innings of work. Marte is limiting opposing lefties to just four hits in 45 at-bats (.089) this season.
Theo......put Dye in CF and send Wily Mo Peña anywhere away from Boston. Peña maybe the WORST player I have seen at the MLB level. He can't hit, run or field. Put Coco in RF and lose Drew in Boston Harbor.
