"The Daily News learned the White Sox have agreed to send second baseman Chris Getz and third baseman Josh Fields to the Royals for Mark Teahen, who is expected to replace Jermaine Dye as Chicago's right fielder. "

In true Royals luck fashion, Teahen will probably finally play up to his potential in the Cell and will likely kill the Royals every time we face him.

Edit:  Now Buster Olney is saying it's not a done deal yet.

2nd Edit:  and now the White Sox have confirmed, hats off to Bill Madden.

You linked it.  I read it.  I refuse to believe it.

I care not for Josh Fields but really like Chris Getz. 

Year 1-3 players GMDM was talking about: From Cots:

Chris Getz 2b
1 year/$0.401M (2009)

• 1 year/$0.401M (2009)
  
  • re-signed by White Sox 2/24/09
• 1 year (2008)
  
  • contract purchased by White Sox 8/10/08
    
• drafted by White Sox 2005 (4-125) (Michigan)
• $0.225M signing bonus
  
• ML service: 0.043

Josh Fields 3b
1 year/$0.41M (2009)

• 1 year/$0.41M (2009)
  
  • re-signed by White Sox 2/24/09
• 1 year (2008)
  
  • renewed by White Sox 3/2/08
• 1 year (2007)
  
• contract purchased by White Sox 9/06
  
• drafted by White Sox 2004 (1-18) (Oklahoma State)
• $1.55M signing bonus
• agents: Jeff Berry & Casey Close
  
• ML service: 1.010

FWIW, Cot's hasn't update service time to include this year.

Wonder where Callaspo is going?

DH?

That would mean Guillen back in RF though....(gulp!).

I love the move (If only we didn't sign Bloomy to a 2 year deal).  Getz has has a terrific second year throughout the minors.  If he can improve like that this year we could be looking at a solid .340 obp and solid D at 2b.  As far as Fields, he was a first round pick...with poor OBP but a little slug, what are the implications for Gordon?  Is this a move to put some heat on him? 

Well, so long Mark.

I may be mistaken, but I think we just traded one crappy hitter and got two back in return.  Is that winning or losing?

Outfield?  I gotta believe they're not going to take his bat out of the everyday lineup.  Maybe he plays left field and DDJ shifts back to center?  Or we bring back Crisp on the cheap and have an OF of DDJ, Callaspo, Crisp (talk about a powerless outfield...jeez)

why do we need 2b or 3b again?

Getz now has 1.043 service time, Fields now has 1.159

Getz still has all 3 option years remaining, Fields has none.

i think you underestimate the idiocy that is trey hillmans managing and dayton moores roster construction.

Wow, this is big.  I LOVE getting Teahen's $$ off the books because I viewed him as $5M this year.

Getz is promising - though I really liked Bert's bat.

Fields is worth a shot - change of scenery perhaps?  Only this is that he plays 3B and 1B - so Gordon & Butler

This gets rid of Jacobs and Teahen though, so that saves big bucks.  I'm happy.

EDIT: I fully prepare to see Teahen all of a sudden "get it" up at the Cell.

Everyone said Teahen was a poor mans Mark Derosa, comparing the trades do you think that is true? 

DeRosa to the Cards for what look to be good relief pitcher Chris Perez & upside relief pitcher Jess Todd (the ptbnl).  How in your mind does the Teahen trade stack up to this, or would you of rather taken the hypothetical Sean Marshal trade we were hearing about at the deadline.

Maybe they send Fields to Omaha to try to get his act together????

Otherwise, I really don't see where he fits in at this point on the 25 man.
