Buzz: Royals to send Teahen to White Sox
According to the Daily News, the White Sox have agreed to send 2B Chris Getz and 3B Josh Fields to the Royals for infielder Mark Teahen.
Teahen hit .271 in 144 games 
for the Royals in 2009, during which Getz started 100 games for the White Sox at second base, while batting .261.
…i think we’re going to see a lot of trades like this…
Last week, in this post, I mentioned how Buster Olney of ESPN.com explained why, “The arbitration process is now outdated,” as a high-ranking MLB executive told him.

…olney makes an excellent point… from what i understand, last july, before the trade deadline, Mark Teahen was discussed a lot, because he fits the mold of what olney is saying, which is, he is a good player, not great, but still with upside, but also due too much money through arbitration the next two seasons for the Royals to justify keeping him around, but enough money for a team like the Mets or Yankees to take a chance on, especially in return for a prospect or two… Jeff Francoeur fit in to this bucket as well, when with the Braves… as does Marlins OF Jeremy Hermida this off season…
In his report, Olney listed Brewers SS J.J. Hardy among two players in a similar situation, and whose contract might get him non-tendered.
For a list of other players who could find themselves non-tendered, and free agents, such as Garrett Atkins, Mike Fontenot, Ryan Garko, Conor Jackson and Delmon Young, check out this October post from MLB Trade Rumors.
