Rafael Soriano is arguably the best free agent reliever on the market this winter. Numerous teams are going to be calling seeing what kind of contract he’s looking for, and if he’d be okay setting up again. Numerous teams make sense for Soriano to land but the question is- which ones are going to pony up the dough?

The Chicago White Sox would love to add Soriano according to a source. The question is, can they move Bobby Jenks? Jenks has fallen out of favor with the upper brass of the Sox management due to his poor conditioning habits (if there is any at all), and the Sox would love to trade him. The question is, who would want him and for what? Jenks is definitely good at what he does as he’s completed about 86% of his save chances. Jenks also played a huge role in the title run the Sox had in 2005, but apparently the Jenks well has run dry.

Matt Thorton did a good job in the 9th inning last year from the left side, but I don’t know if he’d be able to handle the role day in and day out next year. He throws hard and is deadly on left handers, but the Sox might not be willing to just hand him the role. Rafael Soriano would be an outstanding addition to a poor bullpen last year no matter the role. Ozzie would have the choice to play match ups late in the game with 2 hard throwers and Soriano I think could thrive on that ball club. It would be a good move for the Sox and the brash Kenny Williams won’t shy away from looking into it.
