12.4.07 7:32am PST

Have the White Sox jumped into the race for Marlins' 3rd baseman Miguel Cabrera? According to Dave Van Dyck, though the White Sox don't have the strongest package (Josh Fields), mananger Ozzie Guillen is good friends with the young hitter and the Sox have already made calls to Florida inquiring about what it would take to land him.

If they do have enough to land him, they still have to find a team willing to take current 3rd baseman Joe Crede.

According to ESPN's Peter Gammons, the Marlins are no longer pushing for both Nick Adenhart and Ervin Santana, they will take 1 of those 2. Knowing that information, it seems like the Angels and Marlins can make this deal happen.

Jon Heyman of SI.com, breaks down the trade talks between the Angels and Marlins for Marlins' 3rd baseman Miguel Cabrera.The deal the Angels have on the table at this time is 2nd baseman Howie Kendrick, catcher Jeff Mathis, 1 of either top pitching prospect Nick Adenhart or Ervin Santana and another mid-level pitching prospect.

The Angels thought this was a package that the Marlins would not be able to refuse, but Marlins' club owner Jeffrey Loria and club president David Samson insisted that the Angels part with both Adenhart and Santana, prompting the Angels to break off talks.

If the two sides were to begin negotiations again, Angels owner Artie Moreno has already said the Marlins would have to approach them.
