Bobby Jenks Trade Rumors: GM Ken Williams trying to gauge interest in closer
By
Jow Cowley of The Chicago Sun Times says that Chicago White Sox GM Kenny Williams is trying to gauge the market interest for closer Bobby Jenks and reliever Scott Linebrink. There is nothing that “piques interest at the moment.”
Yesterday, manager Ozzie Guillen responded to the possible trade rumors from within the White Sox organization.
“I talked to Kenny [on Sunday]; he sent me a text,” Guillen said before the Sox’ game Monday against the Detroit Tigers was postponed by rain. ”All the rumors out there are not … obviously, [Williams is] not happy, but nobody is. He’s losing patience, but we all do.
”He said it’s too early right now. I’ve worked for Kenny for seven years, and if he sees something he likes out there and will help this organization right now and in the future, he will do it. Kenny does stuff very quietly. Maybe the rumors won’t go anywhere, but all of a sudden he makes a move, and it’s, ‘Ozzie, this guy got traded.’ … That’s the way he’s doing stuff.”
Cowley adds that if there are any changes within the organization it will start with the coaching before it reaches the players.
