July 19. It's after the All Star break and just after a series with the Twins. The season will be pretty well defined by then. If they are not over .500 and under 5 games back, KW pulls the trigger on things starting that day.

There's not much interest in Anthony John Pierzynski after initial rumors of him going to the Rangers. If the Sox traded A.J. right now though, your catchers are Ramon Castro & Donny Lucy would get called up from Triple "A" Charlotte. Why not Tyler Flowers? Because Tyler can't throw the damn ball!

When and why did "Anthony John Pierzynski" start being a thing.

I'd probably be looking to extend AJ at this point for a reasonable 2-3 million per year.

Despite being a 10/5 guy, Konerko makes the most sense in terms of a trade at this point. He's having a halfway decent year and would make for a fine DH somewhere. AJ isn't going anywhere until our farm system produces a catcher worth a damn.

I heard this on "The Joker's Wild", I mean Comcast SportsNet's "Chicago Tribune Live", last night. If the White Sox trade Paul Konerko, it's a white flag-type trade.

I think it will be sooner, and possibly this weekend for A.J....If the team continues to win one, lose one, no winning streak in sight, he's gonig to pull the trigger, he's always been very aggressive and I don't see it being much different with a team like this that will be unloading talent.

A.J. Pierzynski has been told he will not be traded before Monday by manager Ozzie Guillen.

SHARK channeling Chester Coppock. BITE!

So if they don't trade Pierzynski by the end of the business day on Monday, he gets no-trade rights? That's cumbersome.

AJ isn't going anywhere until our farm system produces a catcher worth a damn. Konerko is our only hope of getting a decent prospect back as well. I doubt it's a high level prospect considering the team that picks him up would still owe him $4 million or so for a few months, plus could lose him as a free agent.
