Hello Mr. Dunn, I’m a lifelong Chicago White Sox fan. I know you probably get tons of letters and e-mails, and I’m sure most of them are discouraging. This is not one of those letters. For a decade, I wanted you on the Chicago White Sox. When we were strolling out designated hitters like Brian Daubach, Carl Everett, and Mark Kotsay, you were always on the back of my mind. I wondered exactly how great Adam Dunn would look in a Chicago White Sox uniform. When I traded for you in video games, I felt like I was cheating, because having you on the White Sox was too unrealistic. Then in 2010 – when it appeared the White Sox were going to trade for you – I was left with Edwin Jackson. Then 2011 happened. My unrealistic fantasy was all to real. When you signed with the White Sox, I felt on top of the world. I didn’t think anything – or anyone – would stop the 2011 White Sox. The season started off with such promise, you even hit a home run on Openin...

Reports: White Sox, Danks agree on extension
Multiple media outlets were reporting Wednesday night that the Chicago White Sox and pitcher John Danks have agreed in principle on a contract extension.
ESPNChicago.com and CBSSports.com, citing anonymous sources, reported the extension is for five years. CBSSports.com also reported the deal is for $65 million and will likely be announced after Christmas, assuming Danks passes...
The Chicago White Sox Are Rebuilding, Sort Of, But Not Really
You have to hand it to Kenny Williams, he really doing... something.
With his latest move, he has given the White Sox rotation a healthy dose of stability by locking up lefty John Danks for five years at what is believed to be $65 million. That is a perfectly reasonable amount to pay a 26-year old lefty who has proven to be durable and has generally been consistently good, though...

The White Sox finished 16 games behind the Tigers in the AL Central last season and 12 games shy of the Rays for the wild card. Their farm system was one of the shallowest in baseball coming into the 2011 campaign, so there aren’t any immediate reinforcements to propel the ChiSox back into contention. A wholesale rebuilding process this offseason seemed inevitable.

Like all pitchers who have been made available this offseason, the Yankees inquired on White Sox starter John Danks. However, talks never really progressed past the initial stage after Sox GM Kenny Williams insisted on at least two of the Yankees top prospects in any deal, according to Andrew Marchand of ESPN New York.
Before signing an extension it seemed too risky to give up so...

Whether it was a full post or a line here or there, I’ve made no secret about how I feel/felt about a potential John Danks trade. The Chicago White Sox were rumored to want two of the New York Yankees’ three best prospects in a deal for John Danks and that is obviously ridiculous. Even if it was just Dellin Betances as the centerpiece of a deal, I don’t think it...

John Danks sidesteps White Sox’s funeral pyre with new deal
Have Kenny Williams and the Chicago White Sox stepped away from the ledge?
That seems to be the consensus after news of John Danks' multi-year extension broke late on Thursday night. The five-year, $65 million deal effectively ends the trade talks that had swirled around the 26-year-old lefthander and rates as the complete opposite of trading closer Sergio Santos to the Toronto...
