Jim Thome Returning To White Sox? (UPDATED - NOPE)

"The White Sox were one of several teams putting a claim in for Thome, reports Daryl Van Schouwen of the Sun Times. The White Sox could be trying to block a claim by the Indians or seeking another lefty bat in place of the unproductive Adam Dunn (ESPN)."



Wow, how far has Adam Dunn fallen that a 40 year old Jim Thome is a better option. Guillen always said he regretted letting Thome go, and why wouldn't he? His piece of shit DH (Dunn) is hitting .167 with 11 HRs and 40 RBIs. Thome has better stats (.253 12 HRs 40 RBI) and he has had 162 less at bats.



The White Sox aren't the only teams that are interested in Thome. The Red Sox, Rangers, Angels, Tigers, Indians and Yankees are alll rumored to be interested. I would love for the Sox to be able to make a deal for them, but they are so far down the waiver list I doubt they will even get a chance.



***UPDATE***



The Cleveland Indians have been awarded a waiver claim for Twins designated hitter Jim Thome, CBSSports.com's Danny Knobler has learned.

4 Sox, 3 Indians

Jacoby Fuckin Ellsbury

2 games, 2 walk offs, this time it happened the way of a home run in the bottom of the 9th. This year is crazy, because even when you watch a Red Sox game in which you think they are going to lose, they win. This team is never really out of it, no matter who is pitching, no matter what inning and no matter what deficit there is.

Adrian Gonzalez extended his streak to 13 games with a multi-hit game and Josh Reddick went 2-2 as well.

Tim Wakefield pitched very well last night 6.2 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 2 BB, 6 K, I'll take that any day from Wake.

Still 1 game up on the Yankees who took the White Sox to the woodshed.
