White Sox Offer Arbitration to Konerko, Putz; Decline on Pierzynski, Manny

Filed under: ,

The deadline to offer free agents arbitration arrives Tuesday night, and the Chicago White Sox found themselves with some decisions to make with some key members of their 2005 World Series team and more recent additions. That decision has come.

On Tuesday the White Sox announced that they had offered arbitration to both Paul Konerko and J.J. Putz, but declined to offer arbitration to A.J. Pierzynski and their two-month rental, Manny Ramirez.

The news that the team isn't offering arbitration for Ramirez is not a surprise at all, as he didn't do much to help the White Sox down the stretch in 2010, and the team has enough headaches as it is with the constant feuding of Ozzie Guillen and Kenny Williams.

The decision to offer Putz isn't surprising either, as the team would like to keep Putz around due to his versatility, especially with the rumors that Bobby Jenks will not be brought back.
