Manny Ramirez Saga Affecting White Sox?

Earlier today, Manny Ramirez spurned the Dodgers' 1-year, $25 million contract offer. Despite what they're saying, I think this means LA is all but done dealing with the slugging free agent. Supposedly, now they've turned their attention to Adam Dunn and Orlando Hudson. Hudson, you may remember, was a free agent favorite of Kenny Williams since at least last year. And though, over the weekend, ESPN reported the White Sox weren't going to be signing any more free agents this off-season, today there are reports the Sox have offered a 1-year contract to Bobby Abreu. The Abreu offer is supposedly worth around $8 million for 2009 and it would likely mean Jermaine Dye will be moved before Opening Day, saving the Sox another $3.5 million. Now, Hudson did make almost double that amount in 2008 ($6.25 million), but in this buyer's market, it wouldn't be shocking to see him not get a much better offer. Aside from plugging a major hole in the Sox's defensive lineup, he'd bring another veteran, high OBP-guy that the Sox are currently drooling over.
