The White Sox are open to trading Mark Teahen, who is set to earn $4.75MM this season and $5.5MM in 2012. At the moment, the veteran is little more than a pricey utility man, though he could serve as insurance for rookie third baseman Brent Morel. The youngster is viewed as an outstanding defender who might not be able to produce at the plate immediately. Manager Ozzie Guillen is likely in favor of keeping Teahen as he believes that he can find significant playing time for him if Morel wins the starting job at third base.
If Freese has a setback for the Cardinals, Teahen could be an option. Other than that, I don't really much much of a fit for a utility man making that much. The Diamondbacks could always use another utility guy since Towers is collecting them. ChiSox would have to eat a lot of money to move Teahen.
