Twins now playing by different rules
Before they went upscale at Target Field, the word that best described the Twins varied according to whether they made the playoffs. They were efficient in the good years, cheap in the other ones.
The cost of everything has soared post-Metrodome,...Tags: Derek Jeter, Denard Span, Sports, Joe Benson, Josh Beckett

White Sox GM Williams making all the right moves
It's never easy for Jerry Reinsdorf and the White Sox, but year after year they find ways to stretch the payroll and keep things interesting. That sweetheart stadium deal certainly helps. So does the Comcast SportsNet Chicago deal. But at the end of...

Your Morning Phil: Liriano trade, Gregg, Dunn
Talking baseball while hoping Kirk Hinrich gets well soon: 1. At some point every July, I make this point: The odds are always with the teams selling talent at the trade deadline, not the ones giving up prospects to try to meet short-term opportunities....

Sox trade for Liriano shores up rotation
You have to hand it to Kenny Williams. While the White Sox general manager didn't land Zack Greinke, like the Angels' Jerry DiPoto, who did, he has found ways to improve on the fly. Williams filled major holes when he traded for Kevin Youkilis and Brett...

Keppinger deal indication Hahn will be patient with young talent
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — With midseason approaching last year, the White Sox traded for Kevin Youkilis.

A long way from perfect, Humber starts over
KISSIMMEE, Fla. – Philip Humber knows perfection eludes him, as it does everyone. Humber has been starting his days in Florida by pulling out his Kindle, burying his head in his locker and reading "The Cure,'' by John S. Lynch. It's a novel...

White Sox need more starts like Quintana's
Jose Quintana does not tiptoe into a room. He opens the door and waltzes right in, sometimes to stick around, sometimes to be promptly escorted out. It's a direct approach, one built around challenging hitters with strikes, and the White Sox prefer it to...

Your Morning Phil: Sanchez, Porcello, Dickey
Talking baseball while hoping Alshon Jeffery learns to use his size: 1. Yes, the Cubs came close to landing a big fish last week. But now that Anibal Sanchez has re-enlisted with the Tigers, thanks to Mike Ilitch finding a spare $32 million during the...

Sox season waiting to be defined
