White Sox Sign Mark Teahen To Three-Year Deal

So far the winter meetings have been pretty quiet for both the Chicago White Sox and Chicago Cubs.  The only news you hear coming from the Cubs side is that they're trying to trade Milton Bradley, and apparently aren't getting that much interest.

As for the White Sox, the biggest move they've made so far at the winter meetings has to do with a trade they made weeks ago.  It was announced today that the team has avoided arbitration with newly-acquired Mark Teahen and signed him to a three-year deal worth $14 million.

It's not exactly exciting news, but it's news none the less.

Other than that the only things I've heard regarding the Sox were supposed trade talks with the Rays that would have sent Carlos Quentin south for Carl Crawford, and that Ozzie Guillen is considering batting Gordon Beckham at the top of the order.

Oh, and Scott Podsednik still thinks he's a lot more valuable than he really is.
