JOHN DANKS RUMORS & GOSSIP
Player Profile #141: John Danks | SP | CHW
Just when you thought the White Sox were in full sell and rebuilding mode, they go and sign John Danks to a five-year deal. Despite going 8-12 in 2011, Danks showed how good he can really be by posting a 2.03 ERA in 71 innings from June through August. Not coincidentally, those three months were Danks’ most luck-neutral months while he struggled with bad luck the rest of the...

No-trade clause means no Yankees for John Danks
When John Danks signed his five-year and $65 million deal with the White Sox, I argued that it actually made him more attractive to the Yankees as they wouldn’t have to risk giving up prospects for him only to see him walk as a free agent a year later.
However, Danks landed himself a full no-trade clause in the first year of his contract which would prevent the Yankees from...

John Danks Gets $65 Million, Five-Year Extension from Chicago White Sox
The Chicago White Sox agreed to give John Danks a five-year contract extension worth $65 million on Thursday, keeping the starting pitcher on the South Side until 2016.
The 26-year-old lefty, who more or less sucked last season, went 8-12 with a 4.33 ERA in 2011. Obviously, this prompted general manager Ken Williams to give him an immediate $2 million raise for $8 million next...

White Sox Gives John Danks Five Year Extension
The White Sox gave John Danks the biggest contract they’ve ever given to a pitcher with a five year, $65 million extension. He’s still only 26 and he’s put together some nice seasons for the White Sox. Last year’s disastrous first couple of months (he started 0-8) really tested his mettle and he bounced back [...]

Rumor: Yankees never close to deal for Danks
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...

New York Yankees Fans Can Bury Any John Danks Trade Hopes
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...

Could Danks be the Yankees Number 2?
It seems pretty clearly that Yu Darvish is not going to be a Yankee. So as it stands now, the 2012 Yankees pretty much look exactly the same as the 97 win 2011 team that got bounced out of ALDS. Names have floated but nothing has gotten serious. Felix Hernandez and Gio Gonzalez would be the best choices for the Yanks but the asking price is way too high, pretty much cleaning out...

New York Yankees Trade Buzz: Can We Please Get Over John Danks?
Even though the World Series only ended a couple of weeks ago, it almost feels like the baseball season has just started. For many baseball fans, the season doesn’t start in late March/early April. It starts in early-mid November when the stove gets hot. Free agent signings, trades, rumors, speculation…it all makes for an exciting few months. Unsurprisingly, the...
