White Sox Might Be Staying in the Freddy Garcia Business

Filed under: White Sox, MLB Rumors, MLB Hot Stove, MLB Free Agency

Every time Freddy Garcia thinks he's out, the White Sox pull him back in.

Well, maybe. Jon Heyman of SI.com reports that the team is considering bringing Garcia back for the 2011 season, which would make for a really roundabout way of staying put. The team expressed interest in keeping him all the way back at the start of the offseason, Garcia went on to be linked to just about every team with pitching needs (which means just about every team in the big leagues) and now things have come full circle.

The biggest stumbling block for the White Sox, as Heyman mentions, is that they will have one starter too many once Jake Peavy is ready to pitch again. That's not going to be until June at the earliest, however, and that leaves quite a few starts to fill before even taking into account the various anvils that can fall onto the heads of starting pitchers over the course of the season.
