Seattle Post-Intelligencer: MLB

What a horrible trade by the White Sox! Swisher is nice/goofy player who should fit in well in the White Sox locker room but that is giving up way too much.

Bad Ken Williams strikes again. Maybe the most inconsistent GM in baseball.

FlyingBomb likes it for the long term.

Me, I didn't realize that the White Sox were a good DH away from making the playoffs. This deal only makes sense in those circumstances, otherwise its just an overpay.

And the teardown continues

Also notoble is that this is part of a larger tear down to target the opening of the new stadium with a young and upcoming team.
