In this Sept. 6, 2009 photo, Boston Red Sox's Victor Martinez watches his three-run home run off Chicago White Sox relief pitcher Octavio Dotel during the ninth inning of a baseball game in Chicago.

The most important news surrounding White Sox reliever Octavio Dotel ran deeper than the hard-throwing right-hander filing for free agency on Monday.

Teahen batted .271 with a 12 home runs and 50 RBIs in 144 games with the Royals in 2009.

CHICAGO – Halfway through this season, White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen had a chance to tell his boss that his players were not good enough to win the division.

Mark Kotsay doesn't know how free agency will work out for him this offseason. But the reserve infielder/ outfielder does know where he would like to be come 2010.

Jermaine Dye is at peace, regardless of what decision the White Sox make on his future.

Splitting a doubleheader against the lowly Cleveland Indians on Wednesday didn't exactly make manager Ozzie Guillen's exit strategy from Chicago next week any easier.

Defending the division title went out the window before the weekend series with Detroit -- officially.

Where do the White Sox need to improve the most next season to avoid a repeat of 2009? General manager Kenny Williams offered the obvious answer before yet another loss to the Twins , 8-6 Wednesday night at U.S. Cellular Field.

The Chicago Sun-Times says that reliever Octavio Dotel would like to return to New York.

Jake Peavy struck out eight over seven innings Friday and combined with three relievers to bring the Chicago White Sox a 2-0 win over Detroit.

Octavio Dotel said he approached the club about his immediate future and a contract extension last month and was told he wasn't in the plans.

It was a very specific ultimatum handed down by White Sox general manager Ken Williams in late August.

Addressing the White Sox 's priorities for 2010 will be more complex than simply signing Angels free agents Chone Figgins and Bobby Abreu to fill their leadoff and left-handed run-producing concerns.

Chicago's 4-3, 10-inning victory at Angel Stadium was a victory that was harder to attain than it should have been, complete with built-in frustrations and bullpen misadventures.

With a well-rested bullpen and a day off ahead, A's manager Bob Geren had no qualms about a short stint for starting pitcher Trevor Cahill and spreading some work around on Wednesday.

Three weeks ago, general manager Ken Williams gave an honest assessment if the White Sox failed in 2009.

Octavio Dotel put the game on his shoulders, and A.J. Pierzynski sent him home with a win.

Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Great, The White Sox have been a fairly annoying team this year.
