| Williams, Alderson talk over trade | |||||
TUCSON, Ariz. – Chicago White Sox general manager Kenny
Williams met with Sandy Alderson of the commissioner's office
Sunday to give his side of the disputed David Wells-for-Mike
Sirotka trade.
"The commissioners' office is on the case, and I presented all
the facts," Williams said. "Now we just await the decision."
The Blue Jays say Sirotka, who has a sore shoulder, is damaged
goods and they want the six-player deal reworked. It is still
unclear if Sirotka will need surgery.
The White Sox, who got Wells in the Jan. 14 trade, say the Blue
Jays were informed that Sirotka had experienced previous arm
problems, especially during the spring.
Williams reiterated his stance to Alderson but wouldn't give
specifics.
"I gave them the facts as I know them, as they are. It's
nothing more than I've already said and maintained over the course
of how long this has gone on," Williams said. "I feel better now
that I sat down and discussed the matter."
Alderson, who met Friday in Florida with Toronto GM Gord Ash,
wouldn't detail Sunday's session.
"We spent some time with several members of the White Sox
organization," he said.
Alderson did not gave a timetable for making his recommendation
to commissioner Bud Selig, who has the final say. Send this story to a friend | Most sent stories | ALSO SEE Reports: Reinsdorf to meet today with holdout Thomas Alderson meets with Blue Jays GM over Sirotka deal Wells arrives at White Sox camp, saying he's not worried | ||||
