White Sox Pick Up Options on Key Players

by Jay Maxwell @ 3:14 am. Filed under Brandon McCarthy

The White Sox picked up their options on Mark Buehrle, Jermaine Dye and Tad Iguchi.  Buehrle will make $9.5 million, Dye will make up to $7 million and Iguchi will net $3.25 million.  Dye and Iguchi are solid bargains.  The one I was a little surprised about was the Sox picking up the option on Buehrle but it looks like the Sox did it just so they could trade him.  The organization wants to give Brandon McCarthy a spot in the rotation, which leaves one of last year’s arms as the odd man out.  I thought they might go about that by just not picking up the option on Buehrle but I guess with the $1 million buyout, it made sense to sign him and try to deal him.
