The White Sox on Friday traded pitcher Scott Linebrink and cash considerations to the Atlanta Braves for right-hander Kyle Cofield. This just gets better and better. |

The Atlanta Braves have acquired veteran reliever and setup man Scott Linebrink from the Chicago White Sox in exchange for minor league pitcher Kyle Cofield. Linebrink is a 34-year old reliever and a veteran of both the American and National Leagues. He spent five years with San Diego, where he posted a collective 2.73 ERA. He's spent the last three years with the White Sox. He is in the final year of a four-year contract and scheduled to make $5.5 million in 2011. More than likely the White Sox will be picking up some of that salary. Cofield was ranked by Baseball America as the 24th-best Braves prospect before the 2010 season. Talking Chop ranked him as the team's fifth-best relief prospect this year, though did not rank him among the team's top-25 prospects this year or last. Cofield drew praise from several Braves coaches last spring training, but was largely unimpressive during the minor league season at double-A Mississippi. He is a former eighth-round draft pick from 2005. |

Only thing that would make me happier is if it was to a team in the NL central so the Cubs would face him more. |

That's $14 million in savings and Dunn is making $14 annually. By my math, that's payroll neutral. Where did you see they are only paying 1.5 million. If true, fantastic. |

That's $14 million in savings and Dunn is making $14 annually. By my math, that's payroll neutral. It looks like the Sox are paying 2.75 million of the 5.5...but AJ only costs 2 million this year (deferred) and Dunn only costs 12. SO Linebrink saves you 2.75, AJ 4 and Jenks 7.5 for a total of 13.25 with a cost of 12. The Sox are ahead money for next year after these moves. |
