Following up on the Andre Ethier-to-the-White Sox rumors, the Los Angeles Times' Bill Shaikin made it seem unlikely there will be a deal between the Sox and the Dodgers.
According to Shaikin's report:
"[Dodgers President of Baseball Operations Andrew] Friedman declined to say whether he was in trade discussions with the Chicago White Sox.
However, there is little traction in talks between the teams, according
to a person familiar with the matter but not authorized to discuss it
publicly. The White Sox approached the Dodgers about Yasiel Puig -- apparently in the hope that fellow Cuban Jose Abreu might bring out
the best in Puig -- and the Dodgers instead tried to interest the White
Sox in Andre Ethier and Carl Crawford."
The Sox would certainly have no interest in Crawford, and it sounds like their interest in Ethier is lukewarm at best.
This news comes as no surprise. White Sox rumors that are floated only by Chicago-based reporters tend to not get much traction.
