White Sox cut ties with Thomas

[BAMAPHIN 22]

The Chicago White Sox cut ties with slugger Frank Thomas, refusing Wednesday to offer salary arbitration to the two-time American League MVP.



The World Series champions also declined to offer arbitration to designated hitter Carl Everett and backup catcher Raul Casanova. Players who became free agents and weren't offered arbitration can't re-sign with their former clubs until May 1.

They have Jim Thome now at First.....I guess Frank got cast off.

They have Jim Thome now at First

And Paul Kornerko. I'm guessing Thome will probably DH full time.

Thomas is going to Oakland from reports.

Thomas is going to Oakland from reports.

Well, he's cheap, and if healthy, he'll hit for power and draw a ton of walks. Sounds like an Oakland kind of investment to me.
