The White Sox are willing to discuss righty Gavin Floyd, tweets Joel Sherman of the New York Post. I'm sure the return would have to be significant, as Floyd is locked up affordably through 2012 with a club option for '13.

Floyd, 28 in January, posted a 4.08 ERA, 7.3 K/9, 2.8 BB/9, 0.7 HR/9, and career-best 49.9% groundball rate in 2010. He'd be preferable to almost every other available starter, even Cliff Lee if you're not keen on top dollar six-year free agent commitments for pitchers. The Brewers, Rangers, Yankees, Marlins, Nationals, Astros, Pirates, Diamondbacks, Rockies, and Dodgers are among the teams I'd expect to have interest in Floyd.

Wonder what it would take?

rumor is that Dodgers are offering James Loney, but White Sox want Matt Kemp

I remember when I thought Loney was going to be the next superstar first baseman in baseball.

Anyway, as disappointing of a year Kemp had last season, that's too much for Floyd.

I wouldnt hate Capuano for a full season with incentives.

[AdamRavs]

I like Chris Young.. Outside of the some freak injuries he has been solid..

[FishFanInPA]

[Fish and Chips]

I think he will got a deal similar to sheets' one.

I don't know what kind of SP they are going to get for $4 million bucks

They will probably try for another Natebob-like reclamation project if payroll is not otherwise cleared. Brad Hand could be the guy who is rushed up mid-season if he does well in AA and the reclamation guy doesn't work out.

Wouldn't mind taking a look at Brian Bannister for teh cheap. Really bad season last year but he could be a decent 4-5 in the NL.

I'd rather take my chances with Sanabia, to be honest.

But Moyer is out there

Moyer is having elbow surgery (or shoulder)
