Ordonez Probably Gone From White Sox
496163
Magglio Ordonez probably has played his last game for the Chicago White Sox. The White Sox have until 11 p.m. CST Tuesday to offer arbitration to their four-time All-Star right fielder but appear resigned to losing him because they still haven't been able to evaluate Ordonez's surgically repaired left knee.

After having Carlos Delgado slip away, the Mets fill their hole at first base by acquiring Doug Mientkiewicz from the Boston Red Sox and are eyeing Magglio Ordonez for the outfield.

Andy MacPhail is out. Manager Dusty Baker could be the next to go after another dismal season for the Cubs.

Rats. I was pretty sure Manny Ram&#xED;rez was going to win the MVP award. Too bad he was topped by winner Justin Morneau, runner-up Derek Jeter, David Ortiz, and an ensemble cast of American League worthies.

Beware of a thing called excess. The Red Sox thought they had it with Bronson Arroyo last spring so they took a chance, rolled the dice, and went after a slugger with upside in Wily Mo Pe&#xF1;a. Arroyo had a very good year in Cincinnati, where he proved to be the most durable pitcher in the National League, and the ...

With the Red Sox able to expand their roster with minor league call-ups starting Saturday, manager Terry Francona said it was unlikely the team would make a roster move for this afternoon's game against the Yankees to make up for the absence of left fielder Manny Ram&#xED;rez , who did not play last night and is expected ...

John Olerud hobbled out of the clubhouse on crutches, his left foot heavily wrapped. The New York Yankees' first baseman sat out Sunday night with a bruised instep, and might be sidelined for a while.

Pedro Martinez confirmed yesterday what the Boston Red Sox had said the day before. That leaves the Mets as the only party not to announce that the future Hall of Famer is their newest ace.

Is Manny finally, truly on his way out? Is J.D. Drew on his way to Fenway? And what about the prospect of Julio Lugo at short? Why do the Red Sox love him so much?

Another bizarro day at the Red Sox spring training site. At 7:30 a.m., Curt Schilling went on his user-friendly radio program to announce that contract extension talks had broken off and he'll be a free agent after the season. Two-and-a-half hours later, owner John W. Henry said Schilling's announcement was news to him, but at lunchtime ...

Dusty Baker is gone. Frank Robinson is finished. Cito Gaston won two World Series for the Toronto Blue Jays but hasn't seen the inside of a dugout in years. And Don Baylor suffered the same fate a few years ago that befalls losing managers everywhere &#151; he was fired.

He's been pretty much a forgotten man this season. He was sent to the minors, then went home to Korea, with some wondering whether he'd ever come back and others not caring a hoot if he did.

Chicago White Sox: The White Sox claimed right-hander Bobby Jenks off waivers from Anaheim on Friday and designated righty Eduardo Villacis for assignment.

Sayonara, Yankees. See you in August. Is anyone else pleased the Red Sox will be playing someone other than the New York Yankees for the next two-plus months?

So now we know the reasons why he left. And more. Pedro Martinez was hurt the Red Sox didn't act more quickly in their efforts to sign him. He didn't like the Sox sending more than one person to the Dominican Republic to negotiate. He doesn't like Curt Schilling. He doesn't need the money because he's been a millionaire since ...

The Tigers snared the last remaining premiere free agent of the offseason, agreeing to a $75 million, five-year contract with outfielder Magglio Ordonez, a source said Saturday.

It's a relatively recent story, and a familiar one. The Red Sox had two big sluggers in the middle of their lineup -- one a lefthanded hitter, the other a righty, both .300 hitters, one a former MVP, one who would soon be named one. They were the linchpins of a Sox team that had high hopes of playing deep ...
