*D MLB Trade Rumors:
Recently, the South Side of Chicago has been identified as a logical destination for Angels third baseman Chone Figgins as he heads into free agency. However, manager Ozzie Guillen doesn't envision the 31-year-old utility player fitting into the White Sox' budget, reports Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times.Cowley says that in 2010 high-priced pick-up Alex Rios will take over in center field and Carlos Quentin will move from left to right in place of Jermaine Dye, whose $12MM option is not likely to be picked up. This leaves one spot open, which could be solved by signing Figgins or retaining Scott Podsednik, who Guillen would "love" to have back.Podsednik played a slightly below average left field this season, posting a UZR/150 of -3.4 at the position. Figgins, meanwhile, hasn't played the outfield regularly since 2006. Can Figgins be had for less than $10MM per year in a depressed economy?
