Freddy Garcia Out. To the White Sox for Miguel Olivo, Jeremy Reed, and Michael Morse. For in-depth analysis, don't come here. Check ussmariner, as well as others linked on the left, to see a more knowledgeable breakdown of the players headed to Seattle. I'll just say that I'm glad management has officially and publicly given up on this season and has started to prepare for the future, especially after the Meche-for-Inge disgrace in a quest to "add more pop". I'd like to see Travis Blackley get the call to take Freddy's spot in the rotation, though its likely that Thornton, after a strong outing in relief this afternoon, will slip into the role. Let's hope Bavasi makes a few more moves to prepare for next year, possible calling up Leone to see if we can get a few useful years out of him before he's too old. I don't know how ready Reed is, but if he's close, maybe Bavasi will move Winn or Ibanez to open a spot. And getting Olivo is nice, as he's having himself a fine season at the ripe age of 26. Stuart, could it be the year of the White Sock?
